II. Zoölogy.
Adjunct Professor Kepner.
Course 1B: Zoölogy.—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 formation of cell-organs,
tissues, and complex organs in the various types of animal bodies.
Lectures Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, 12 to 1 p. m. Laboratory periods
Monday, Wednesday, Friday, 9 to 11 a. m. The class is limited for the
present to thirty members.
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be withdrawn if not elected by at least four students.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 and Zoölogy 1B are 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 chordate organs 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 chordate tissues.
