Without consulting the internet or other sources, how many of these do
you know the meaning of (in other words, what do these branches of science
study)? Approximately from easiest to hardest:

- Arachnology
- Ornithology
- Horticulture
- Entomology
- Cetology
- Herpetology
- Phycology
- Malacology
- Helminthology
