Abstract
THE English student of zoology has now the choice of a large number of excellent text-books, varying in style, in thoroughness, in wealth of illustration, but sufficient for the purposes of his education up to the time when his more advanced studies require him to turn his attention to the writings of foreign authors in their original language. To add to the list, the translation of a foreign text-book requires some special justification. It must provide something, some special treatment of a subject or some philosophical speculation which has not been provided by those who, with a knowledge of the needs of our own students, have written text-books for their guidance. The great reputation of Prof. Her twig would lead us to expect a text-book from his pen that would justify its translation into the language of any country where zoology is seriously studied, and in some respects we are not disappointed.
