The scope of the instruction in this department is indicated by the
title of the department ; elementary courses are given in the general
subject of invertebrate zoology, and special courses, both elementary
and advanced in entomology. An opportunity is offered the student
to lay a broad foundation for zoological studies by lectures covering in
a general way the field of invertebrate zoology, and by a study in the
laboratory of a wide series of typical forms, illustrating the more im
portant groups of Invertebrates. These two courses taken*in connec
