We have great pleasure in placing this book ‘paper III: Life and Diversity of Animals- Nonchordates (Arthropoda to Hemichordata) and Paper IV : Cell Biology and Zoology Practical Manual’ in the hands of Second Semester B. Sc. Zoology students of R.T. M. University of Nagpur.
The present book is written as per the new revised syllabus of the R.T.M. University of Nagpur. The main aim of writing this book is to present the subject matter in a concise and easily understandable form keeping in view the basic needs of the students.
The unique feature of our book is point wise presentation of subject matter which we feel really helpful for the students while reading the book and writing the answers. Several illustrative diagrams have been included in the text which will help the students to grasp the ideas quickly and easily.
