II. Zoölogy.
Associate Professor Kepner.
Mr. Taliaferro.
Mr. Cash.
Mr. Williams.
For Undergraduates.
Students taking an undergraduate course in Zoölogy are required
to pay, in addition to the regular tuition fee, a laboratory fee
of $5.
Zoology B1: An introductory course in the morphology and
classification of both invertebrates and vertebrates. The course will
be so conducted as to afford to the student a general survey of the
animal kingdom, and to emphasize the principles involved in the for
mation of cell-organs, tissues, and complex organs in the various
types of animal bodies. The class is limited for the present to thirty
members. (B. A. or B. S. credit, 6 session-hours.) Lectures, Tuesday,
Thursday, Saturday, 12-1. Laboratory, Section I, Monday, Wednesday,
Friday, 9-11. Section II, Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 9-11.
Cabell Hall.
For Graduates and Undergraduates.
Students taking a graduate course in Zoölogy are required to pay,
in addition to the regular tuition fee, a laboratory fee of $20.
Three courses are offered in Animal Morphology, one of which
will be given each session: each course comprises two lectures and
two laboratory periods of three hours each weekly; participation
in the weekly biological seminar is also required. The course for the
year may be withdrawn if not elected by at least four students. Lectures,
Monday and Wednesday from 1 to 2 p. m. Laboratory periods,
Tuesday and Thursday from 11 a. m. to 2 p. m. Botany
B1 or Zoölogy B1 is prerequisite for either of these courses. The
courses offered are as follows:
Zoology C1: The Lower Invertebrates.—In this course a detailed
study will be made of animals representing various classes and
orders of Protozoa, Coelenterata, Platyhelmia, Nemertini, Nematelminthes,
Trochelminthes and Molluscoida, involving their comparative
anatomy, their embryology, and their affinities. Students will
be required to collect the available material of the vicinity for class
work; to make a collection of histological preparations; and to report
at regular intervals upon the progress of their work.
Zoology C2: The Higher Invertebrates.—A similar detailed study,
under similar requirements, of animals, representing various classes
and orders of Echinodermata, Mollusca, Annulata and Arthropoda.
Zoology C3: The Vertebrates.—A detailed anatomical and histological
study of animals representing various classes, sub-classes,
and orders of the Chordata. The physiology of the organs of the
Chordata will be discussed. Vertebrate embryology as represented
by that of the frog and the bird will be briefly studied. Students
will be required to make collections of local material for classroom
work and to make histological preparations representing the fundamental
tissues of representatives of the group.
