Abstract
IT is nearly forty-three years since “Parker and Haswell” first appeared, and its usefulness has made it about the best-known text-book of zoology of its scope in the English language. During the interval much water has flowed under the bridge, and while five editions have appeared each of them has contained only relatively minor alterations. As is stated in the introduction to the present, that is, the sixth edition of vol. 1, “it was clear that this had to be based on a thorough revision of both text and illustrations”. One looks forward to renewing the acquaintance of a friend of such long standing with mixed feelings; pleasure in old friendship and trepidation that the years may have wrought such changes that the friend will no longer be recognizable.
