Abstract
(1)THE basic themes around which this course in zoology is built are: life as a chemico-physical basis and life as a manifestation of metabolism. The choice of title is a happy one, for the course here devised is truly a biological one, and should cause most authorities responsible for general university degree courses in Great Britain to think whether their teaching is not too much based on systematics and type systems, at the expense of animal physiology.
