tomy will occupy the first half of the course, and will com- 

 prehend the demonstration and description of the organs 

 of motion, sensation, digestion, circulation, respiration, 

 secretion, and generation, in all the various tribes of the 

 lower animals. The physiological details, and the appli- 

 cations of the facts to Zoology, Medicine, and other sci- 

 ences, will accompany the demonstrations of structure ; 

 and this part of the course will conclude with observations 

 on the mode of conducting zootomical inquiries, and on 

 the art of making and preserving zootomical preparations. 



The Zoology will succeed the anatomical details, as all 

 scientific arrangements of animals are founded on struc- 

 ture, and will be divided into two distinct departments ; 

 the first treating of existing animals, and' the second of 

 extinct species. 



The history of the existing species of the Animal King- 

 dom will comprehend the characters, classification, habits, 

 and uses of the animals belonging to the classes, Mammalia, 

 Aves, Reptilia, Pisces, Mollusca, Conchifera, Tunicata, 

 Cirrhipeda, Anne tides, Crustacea, Arachmda, Insect a, Ver- 

 mes, Radial a, Zoophyta, and Infusoria, commencing with 

 the natural history of the human species. This division of 

 the course will be terminated with practical observations 

 on the methods of collecting, preparing, transporting, and 

 preserving zoological specimens. 



The history of the known species of Fossil Animals will 

 be detailed in the same descending order of the classes, and 

 will contain an account of their distinguishing characters, 

 their physical condition, their geological situation, their 

 geographical distribution, and their relations to the exist- 

 ing species. In this part of the course, the connections of 

 the study of Fossil Animals, with the doctrines of Physio- 

 logy, will be pointed out, and also their relations to the 

 past revolutions of the globe. 



THE END.
