Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Laboratory Guide in Elementary Zoology This guide is designed for use in my own classes, and it sets forth an outline of the work done in Zoology. No claim is made as to the originality of the subject matter except in the method of presenting it, and the order in which it is given. It has been in use in our laboratory for several years in mimeographic form. Type forms are taken of the different groups, and carefully studied. The classification of animals conforms to that of the "Manual of Zoology" by Parker and Haswell, which is used as a text for class work. Any other good text may be used. All instructions for the use of apparatus, etc., are left to be supplied by the teacher in charge. Acknowledgment is here due Dr. W. F. Copeland, J. E. McDaniel, Ph. M., and A. A. Johnson, Ph. B., former assistants of mine, and my present assistants, J. A. Badertscher, and C. E. Hayden, for many valuable suggestions in the working of the manual before going to print.
