TEST 4

 

There will be two parts to the test:

1. You will have a list of the common names and you must give the Latin name from memory. Bring the “Test#4 Centrarchidae form” with you to the test.

2. Identify specimens or photos and give the common name – your regular texts and crib sheet can be used.

 

NOTE:  In Latin names, only the first letter of the genus has a capital letter.  All of the other letters of the genus and species are not capitalized.  If they are capitalized, it is a spelling error and will be counted as an incorrect answer!
