Abstract
THIS attractive volume, distinguished by the freshness and excellence of its illustrations, is designed as “a second book of zoology,” “to meet the needs of the beginning student of zoology.” The opening chapters deal, somewhat lightly, with the characteristics of living things and of animals in particular, and with the cell and its protoplasm; They are clear and straightforward, but they lack both distinction and distinctiveness. If this sort of introduction is desirable it should be less easygoing.
