A Guide to the Study of Fishes

Abstract

THIS beautiful work naturally invites comparison with the recently published seventh volume of the “Cambridge Natural History.” Both actually cover the same ground, since both contain also an account of those invertebrates which, like Balanoglossus, Tunicates, and Amphioxus, claim the ambitious honour of a more or less direct ancestral position to the fishes.

A Guide to the Study of Fishes.

By David Starr Jordan. Vol. i., pp. xxvi + 623; vol. ii., pp. xxii + 599; with coloured frontispieces and 427 illustrations. (New York: H. Holt and Co., 1905.) Price 40s.
