III. Zoölogy.
Zoölogy C1: Experimental Zoölogy: Biology B1 prerequisite.—A comparative
study of the morphology and behavior of typical invertebrates. Three
hours of lectures and six hours of laboratory per week. The work of the first
two terms of this course is based upon the lower invertebrates and represents a
complete course of 4 session-hours credit. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 6 session-hours.)
Professor Kepner.
Zoölogy C2: Parasitology: Biology B1 prerequisite.—A study of the parasitic
protozoa, worms, and insects, with special emphasis on those which attack
man. In each case some of the free-living forms will be studied as a basis for
comparison. The scope of this work will include morphological studies, life-histories
and the methods utilized by the parasites in getting from one host to
another. Discussion of current literature by the students may be substituted for
a lecture at any time. Three hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory per
week. First and second terms only. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 4 session-hours.)
Associate Professor Reynolds.
Zoölogy C3: Research Technique: Zoölogy C2 prerequisite.—Each student
will be given a problem. Articles on special topics will be assigned and written
reports required. The aim of this course is to give students practical training
in the preparation of scientific papers for publication. A minimum of nine hours
per week is required. Third term only. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 2 session-hours.)
Associate Professor Reynolds.
Zoölogy C4: Comparative Vertebrate Anatomy: Biology B1 prerequisite.—This
course is introduced by a general study of representative species of
chordates. A comparative study is made of the various organic systems found
in the different classes of vertebrates with special reference to their origin,
structure and function. Ample opportunity is afforded for vertebrate dissection.
Three hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory per week. First and second
terms only. (B.A. or B.S. credit, 4 session-hours.)
Assistant Professor MacFall.
Zoölogy C5: Comparative Vertebrate Embryology: Biology B1 prerequisite.—A
study of the development of vertebrate embryos, especially the frog
and the chick. Some practice in embryological technique will be afforded. Three
hours of lecture and six hours of laboratory per week. Third term only. (B.A.
or B.S. credit, 2 session-hours.)
