Abstract
I NOTICE in NATURE for Oct. 20, a review by Mr. E. Ray Lankester, of a Manual of Zoology recently published by me, and I crave a small portion of your space to say a few words thereon. Upon Mr. Lankester's zoological strictures on my work I will not enter, partly because the public verdict on the merits of my work has already been very emphatically and decisively expressed; partly because the sins laid to my charge are chiefly of omission and not of commission, and are, therefore, more or less inevitable in a work of such limited compass; and partly because it must be patent to everyone how much more admirably the work, unfortunately left to me, would have been discharged by Mr. Lankester himself.
