Abstract
PRACTICAL courses dealing with animals are a strong feature in the teaching of elementary zoology such as is required for medical students. Many guides, dealing with suitable local animal types, have been published. Most of these are dry-as-dust ‘anatomies’, the use of which is preceded by lectures. These in the writer's student days dealt mainly with the forms of the different organs in a number of dead corpses, with notes on their evolution deduced from the same, whereas to-day the centre is the living animal in relation to its mode of life.
