Abstract
THE anatomical drawings of Mr. Howes have fot some years been well known in all laboratories where animal morphology is taught. In his “Atlas of Elementary Biology” he has now published a very complete series of figures illustrating the chief of those animal and vegetable types which are generally given to students in their first o session. The need for such a work as this is well known to every one who has any experience of biological teaching; and the name of its author is a sufficient guarantee of the careful accuracy and artistic excellence of the drawings it contains. The low price at which a student's text-book must necessarily be sold has precluded the use of colour, which might in a few cases have given some additional clearness to the figures; but all that could be done with black and white has been done, and every figure is evidently a faithful copy of an actual dissection, such as a student may reasonably hope to repeat for himself.
