lected series. It is divided into three sub-divisons consisting of one term each. The first term's work may be taken separately as a minor by students not in the natural science group. a. The laboratory work of the first term includes dissections of the earthworm, serial sections of this form and of Hydra, and numerous studies and preparations of the Protozoa. Lectures on the structure: physiology, and classification of the Protozoa, their relations to plants and to the organization, embryological development, and history of the higher animals are made to elucidate and illustrate the general theory of zoology, which is here presented in outline to be filled in and completed as the work proceeds. The general zoology of the remaining lower invertebrate forms, including Vermes, finishes the work of the term. b. The second term is devoted to the morphology, physiology,and general classification of the remaining invertebrates, with principal attention to the Arthropoda. It is directed especially towards the entomological course of this department, and is required of all students expecting to take entomology. T h e laboratory work includes a. special study of the crayfish, and of the embryology of the potato beetle, followed by a considerable amount of semi-independent work upon the invertebrate fresh water fauna of'the region. c. The third term's work is done on vertebrates, with principal attention in the laboratory to anatomical work on the larger animals. T h e general method is that of comparative anatomy, with special reference to the anatomy of man, this part of the course being directed particularly towards the physiological courses of the University which follow upon it. Philosophical zoology takes the form in this term of a course of lectures on the general theory of organic development, illustrated by a systematic study, by lectures and reading, of the modern doctrine of the descent of man. IVinler, spring, and fall terms, full study. Assistant Professor FRANK SMITH (a and b) and Associate Professor SUMMERS (C). Required: An entrance credit in Chemistry, or Chemistry i, an entrance credit in Zoology, or Zoology 10. Art and Design i must be taken with this course if it has not been taken previously. 2. This course consists of the first and second terms' work of Zoology i. It is intended especially to serve as a thorough zoological preparation for General Entomology (Zoology 6). It will be accepted as a minor instead of Zoology io. Whiter and spring terms, full study, Required: Chemistry i and Art and Design i (see Course i).
