PROF. EDw. S. MORsE-The first lecture of
the course on zoology by this distinguished.
naturalist was given last evening. He CON-
menced with description of the lowest forms,
animals composed of one substance only, and,
by gradual steps, proceeded to the cOnsidera-
ton OF beings OF more complex structure
Photoplasm, spontaneous generation, ciliary
movements, the results of deep sea dredging,
were all more or less fully discussed. The Pro-
lessor displayed the greatest familiarity with
his subject, speaking entirely without notes
and illustrating every point by blackboard
drawings which, though made with wonderful
rapdity, were marvels of accuracy and beauty.
The audience was a most attentive and ap-
preciative one, and frequently expressed its
satisfaction by hearty applause. The only
thing to regret is that it was not much larger.
Our citizens should understand that this course
far surpasses Anything of the kind ever at
tempted in this State, and should not let slip
this opportunity for instruction and enjoy
ment
The second lecture will be- given this eve
ming, and, for the benefit of those who could
not attend last night, Prof. Morse will give
resume of the first lecture.
