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 be
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, 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.
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 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 class-room work and to make histological preparations
representing the fundamental tissues of representatives of the group.
