and rocks; determination of fossils; construction of geological
sections. For Zoology. - Dissection and microscopical examina-
tion of types of four different groups of invertebrate animals,
and of the different groups of vertebrate animals. For Anatomy
and Physiology. - Dissection of the human body. For Botany. -
Dissection and microscopical examination of types of four
different groups of cryptogamic plants, and of eight different
orders of phanerogamic plants.
