Picture Lessons in Natural History

Abstract

THE four sheets before us, which, we presume, form only a portion of the series, include the Protozoa and “Invertebrates.” From all points of view they seem admirably adapted to give to the young student a clear idea of the leading structural features distinctive of the different groups of animals. The figures are well selected, well drawn, and well coloured, and are of a size sufficiently large to display the structure of each type of animal. The letter-press is written in exact and yet such popular language as to be easily understood by the most un-scientific.

Picture Lessons in Natural History.

A series of diagrams on roller. (London: G. W. Bacon and Co., 1897.)
