Excerpt from A Course in Vertebrate Zoölogy: A Guide to the Dissection and Comparative Study of Vertebrate Animals The course also seeks to keep the morphological relations of the various organs and systems of organs constantly before the mind, and to make the study a comparative one. Each of the dissections is complete in itself and is not depend ent upon any of the others. The teacher may thus give his class such of the dissections as he wishes, and in the order he wishes. The directions do not contain exhaustive descriptions of the animals dissected, the completeness of the description in each case being made dependent upon the pedagogical ends aimed at, and upon the time ordinarily at the disposal of the student. The organs which have been treated in the least detail are the muscles, in most cases only the superficial ones being described, and they not minutely. A teacher will find it an easy matter, however, to extend the study of the muscles if he wishes. The particular order in which the various systems of organs of each animal are studied is the one which experience has shown will accomplish the desired result with the greatest economy of time and material.
