PROF. MoRsE's LECTURES ON ZOOLOGY -
Prof Morse delivered the fifth lecture of his
course Cd Zoology last night at Army and Navy
Hall. The audience was about the same a.
that attending the former lectures, being main
ly season ticket holders The speaker review
Ell the principal points in that portion Of his
previous lecture on Protective Coloring. and
corrected some erroneous notions that may
have obtained in relation that feature OF nat
ural history. In connection Herewith he
spoke of a class of mollusks which are protect
ed from determination by disguise of pebbles
aud fragments Of shells, which they attach
to themselves He then explained the differ
ence between the vertebtates and invertebrates;
while the latter have No frame and are indie
fensble, the former have skeleton. In verte-
brates skull is clearly defned-developing as
the class progresses into the higher orders. He
marked the formation of the fishes and their
relation in structure to amphibious animals.
He instructed his audience also in the nature
of the only known specie CT fish that connects
the vertebrates with the invertebrates, and
proceeded to explain the development of the
OF the frog from the egg, which is emphatically
fshy in its nature, to the mature animal. The
difference between the lizard proper and the
salamander, enormously called by the same
name in New England, was pointed out
Snakes constituted portion of the lecture
Except the rattlesnake, the Professor said, all.
the snakes of New England are harmless =
Their method of locomotion is by plates of
scales, pointing backward and connected with
the ribs which they expand and contract and
furnish means for getting over the ground
The turtles, with their external skeleton, were
introduced to show the connection of the rep
tiles with the fishes, and their structure was
explained and Illustrated.
The next lecture will be on Friday night
next, when Birds will be the subject of dis
course.
Prof. Morse is inimitable as lecturer. He
is unreportab,e. He ready pencil exceeds in
power the force of ordinary language, and in
attempting to follow him it Is impossible to do
more than give the faintest outline of the d.
visions of the subject which he has so thor
oughly made familiar to himself BY close study
and observation.

The TABLEAUx OF ERIN.-No country on
the face OF the globe presents greater attrac-
tions to the lover of fine scenery than Ireland !;
and every foot of that famous isle is classic
ground; to the poet the philosopher, the his
torian, it is almost sacred soil. And there are
hundreds of thousands OF adopted citizens
whose memory goes out TO that country with
all the felvid affection that clings to the name
Of home. 1t is favor to have some natural
and artificial beauties of Ireland brought before
US with the fidelity of the artists pencil; and
to enable US to recall with each scene some
familiar history while We enjoy the beauty Of
the landscape. The pictures which are to be
exhibited at Music Hall next week are worthy
the visit of lovers of art. If we can believe the
reports OF disnterested observers, they are not
only true to nature, but finished with care and
skill. The characteristics OF Irish life, as pre-
scented by MIR. and Mrs Brennan, are pleasant
incidents and viii amuse as well as instruct.

ter an animated debate, to meet again on
Thursday evening next, for the purpose of per-
fecting the plan and also to discuss the most
useful modes of procedure, at which meeting

in former times won much credit for the abili-

these intellectual combats, aud have, we are
assured, benefited themselves much by their
efforts. We hope to learn that the old fire is
not extinguisAed, and to have good report in
the spring, of their praisewortby efforts.
