COURSES OF INSTRUCTION. 



Each course occupies the entire working day assigned 

 to it, and consists of field or laboratory work, supple- 

 mented in every case by lectures, recitations, or confer- 

 ences, and by assigned reading and preparation of re- 

 ports. 



ZOOLOGY. 



i. The Natural History of Vertebrate Animals, — 

 The course deals chiefly with fishes, amphibians, and 

 reptiles, not with birds (see Course 3), and only in- 

 cidentally with mammals. As far as possible, all forms oc- 

 curring in the region are collected, identified, and their 

 habits studied in both field and laboratory. Students thus 

 learn to recognize many of the native vertebrates at 

 sight. In the field special attention is given to methods 

 of work, and the records made form the basis of reports 

 and conferences. The general problems of animal 

 ecology, species behavior, evolution and taxonomy are 

 considered as shown by the field data. Although most 

 of the work is given in the field, attention to precise 

 methods of observation and to the correct use of data is 

 required.
