193 Feb. 6 botany and zoology (microscope slides), freezing and paraffin microtome (all new equipment), sizable collection of plants and animals mostly made by students, well labelled as to collector, locality, date, and identity. The students (special ones) had done a study of chick development and had illustrated it. The class has worked with developing frog eggs. There is sometimes time for extra work at the beginning of the semester. The class takes field trips outside of school hours (17-18 April of students). They had recently made an ecological study of a mangrove swamp, replete with photographs, drawings, graphs (bar and transect) and even a mock-up of the swamp on the front table. This study involved food chain analysis. Specimens collected are preserved. Incidentally, one of the mangrove plants is Rhizophora mucronata, one of rare viviparous species, that drops its embryos into the mud. The radicle is lance-like and sticks in the mud. I saw this species (or a related one) on Lucrea Island in 1958. Like the other labs, this one was very large, airy, well lighted, had plenty of table & sink space.
