Condensed Invertebrate Zoology Lecture Notes For First Year Students PDF Download

Excerpt from A Laboratory Manual of Invertebrate Zoölogy This manual has for its basis a set of laboratory directions prepared by the instructors in the Zoology Course given at the Marine Biological Laboratory at Woods Hole, Massachusetts, for the use of students in that course. These manifolded outlines were first used in 1901. Associated with me in the preparation of the first notes were Dr. Robert W. Hall, Dr. James H. McGregor, Mr. Robert A. Budington, and Dr. Caswell Grave. For several years the notes were modified and additions were made before there was any thought of publication. During this period other instructors became members of the staff and added to the directions. These instructors were Dr. Winterton C.Curtis, Dr. D. H. Tennent, Dr. Otto C.Glaser, Dr. Grant Smith, Dr. John H.McClellen, and Dr. Lorande L. Woodruff. Since publication, the instructors in this course have offered many suggestions and criticisms that have aided greatly in revisions. I am especially indebted to Dr. Lorande L. Woodruff, who has given much attention to the revision of the Protozoa, and to Dr. Winterton C.Curtis, Dr. Caswell Grave, and Dr. W. C. Allee, who have successively been in charge of this course. Probably few instructors will find it desirable for their students to follow closely all that is given in this manual, but it has seemed better to arrange the matter in a logical order, and in some of the forms to call attention to only the important points of anatomy or adaptation, than to try to make the directions for each form complete in themselves. Since the first appearance of the manual in book form there have been many suggestions that directions for other forms be included, or that more complete directions be given for some of the forms treated. These suggestions have been followed in many cases. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
