Phases of Animal Life, Past and Present

Abstract

THE sixteen essays which make up the volume are reprints, with a few alterations, of articles originally published in Knowledge. “They are intended,” the author tells us, “to illustrate in a popular manner a few of the various modes in which animals—especially vertebrates—are adapted to similar conditions; and also to demonstrate some of the more remarkable types of structure obtaining among the higher vertebrates.”

Phases of Animal Life, Past and Present.

By R. Lydekker (Cantab.). (London: Longmans and Co., 1892.)
