Abstract
MR. BALFOUR has brought out the second volume of his treatise with admirable punctuality, and zoologists will find it no less valuable than the first. Indeed it is in many ways more attractive than the earlier volume, on account of the fact that the developmental history of the Vertebrata is here dealt with, and has an interest for a large class of anatomists who are not addicted to the study of other organisms. Moreover, in treating of the Vertebrata (or Chordata, as he prefers to call them when the group is so extended as to comprise the Ascidians) Mr. Balfour has introduced a very considerable amount of original matter.
