338 ZOOLOGY 



a relatively small city, where opportunities for zoological 

 instruction are excellent. Bordeaux, Grenoble (LEGER), 

 Lyon (TESTUT), and Toulouse (LECAILLON) also offer 

 especial attractions. The French universities, although 

 not all organized on the same scale of size, are on a parity 

 as regards standards. Some of the universities command 

 a foremost place on account of the presence of men of 

 unusual distinction on their faculties. The student of 

 zoology should select his university according to the pro- 

 fessors and the facilities for study in the particular phase 

 of zoology in which he is most interested. In general, 

 opportunities will be wider in those universities having 

 a medical as well as a scientific faculty. 



Zoology. To enumerate a complete list of zoological 

 courses would be tedious and needless; they are set forth 

 in the various annual catalogues published under the 

 name of "Livret de PEtudiant." The following is 

 merely an abbreviated list of courses that serves to indi- 

 cate the range of subjects: 



At the Sorbonne, the distinguished professor Yves 

 DELAGE (author of "L'Heredite et les grands problemes 

 de la biologic generale," etc.) supervises work in zoology, 

 comparative anatomy, and physiology. These zoological 

 courses are supplemented by PRUVOT, HOUSSAY, 

 PERRIER, PEREZ, and others. The complementary work 

 in general physiology is directed by DASTRE (textbook) 

 and general biology is conducted by LE DANTEC. 

 Maurice CAULLERY (exchange professor in 1915-16 at 

 Harvard University) offers courses in embryology and the 

 evolution of organized beings, and also directs a marine 

 station at Wimereux (Pas-de-Calais). Other seaside sta- 

 tions connected with the University of Paris are at Roscoff 

 (DELAGE, Director) and at Banyuls (PRUVOT, Director). 



The Medical Faculty of Paris offers courses in physi- 

 ology by RICHET (" Dictionnaire de Physiologic") and
