Abstract
YET another book upon the cat! With the great treatise of Strauss-Durckheim, and the books of Mivart, Wilder and Gorham, published, and the great work of Jayne in course of publication, there would seem little room left for this now before us. When, however, it is remembered that the treatise of the first-named author is not available for American students; that, like that by Wilder, it deals only with parts of the animal described; that the late Dr. Mivart's book, rather a general treatise on mammalian morphology than a special one upon the cat, fails completely in most parts where anatomical detail peculiar to this animal is concerned; that the book by Messrs. Gorham and Tower, though a laboratory treatise, is but brief—it will be clear that ample room is left for the work under review, which is designedly a laboratory book, giving a complete and wellbalanced description of the facts of anatomy of the animal concerned “in moderate volume and without extraneous matter.”
