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
formation of cell-organs, tissues, and complex organs in the various
types of animal bodies. The class is limited for the present to
thirty members. Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 12-1. Laboratory.
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9-11. Cabell Hall.

For Graduates and Undergraduates.

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may, however, be withdrawn if not elected by at least four students.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 1B or
Zoölogy 1B is prerequisite for either of these courses. The courses offered
are as follows:

Course 2C: 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,
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.

Course 3C: The Higher Invertebrates.—A similar detailed study,
under similar requirements, of animals, representing various classes
and orders of Echinodermata, Mollusca, Annulata and Arthropoda.

Course 4C: 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 chordate
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 class room work
and to make histological preparations representing the fundamental
tissues of representatives of the group.
