SYLLABUS. (1) The physiology of those systems and mechanisms of the mammal not treated in the. Second Year course and (2) the principles of the actions of drugs. Physiological pharmacology, details of the actions, in the several physio- logical systems of the more frequently naturally occurring substances and allied drugs.

PRAСTicm. Woкк. Twenty classes throughout two terms.

EXAMINATION. One 3-hour written paper on the syllabus for First and Second Year (Pass and Honours). Viva voce and practical tests as notified by the Depart- ment.

• (ii) Biochemistry.

A course of thirty lectures devoted to: Intermediary metabolism of carbo•

hydrates, proteins and fats. Mineral metabolism. Vitåmins. Endocrinology.

PRACrIсAL. WORK. Twenty practical classes throughout two terms.

Students should report to the Russell Grimwade School of Biochemistry during the second-last week of the long vacation. They will then be allotted a group for both Physiology and Biochemistry practical work. Situdents work in pairs ; those who do not report to the Biochemistry Department as above will be allotted partners. Students who will be absent from Melbourne during the second last week of the long vacation should inform the Biochemistry Department in writing of their intended partner before the end of that week.

The apparatus used for practical biochemistry is supplied by the Biochemistry Department; a deposit of f5 per student must be paid to the University Branch of the National Bank using a specially stamped bank slip obtained from the Department. Unless an extension of time is obtained from the Head of the Depart- ment, this payment is to be made during the second-last week of the long vacation.

On production of the receipt, a key will be issued ; the apparatus should be checked before the term commences. The deposit includes a service fee of f2/10/-.

This includes a charge for duplicated notes. At the conclusion of the course the balance will be refunded less the value of breakages, etc.

LECTURES IN SCIENTIFIC METHODf

.

A course of one lecture per week during first and second terms in which some of the relationships between procedure, evidence and explanation will be analysed by using examples from the history of science.

A selection from the following fields will be subjected to detailed treatment.

(1) The work and iпflueпсе of particular persons,

e.g. Aristotle, Galen, Galileo, Bacon, Descartes, Van Helmont, Hales, Harvey, Hippocrates, Borelli, Malpighi, Mayow, Haller, Priestley, Lavoisier, Galvani, Bernard, Darwin.

Students who wish to attend Lectures in Scientific Method should do so before entry to Div. II. the class each year being limited to 200.

.

(2) History of scientific ideas.

Atomism before and after Dalton.

The impact of the "new physics" on biological thought in the 17th and 18th Centuries.

Interaction of chemical and biological concepts from 1500-1900 in the ex.

planation of (i) animal heat, .

(ii) digestion and metabolism, (iii) respiration,

(iv) composition and function of blood.

The problem of evolution and species.

Biological classification from the Greeks to Linnaeus.

Theories of reproduction and inheritance.

Darwin and the Origin of Species.

The influence of the introduction of new instruments and techniques on the development of biological thought, e.g. microscopical techniques.

At the first lecture, students will be notified as to which topics have been

• selected and will be given an appropriate reading list.

N.B.—This course will not be available in 1961.
