Abstract
THIS volume is one of the twentieth century text-book series, and adds another to the rapidly growing stock of elementary science manuals. It contains more than 300 pages, with 180 text fig ures, and its only novelty is the method of treatment, the authors combining the most elementary detail with the most abstruse ideas set forth in simple language. The reason of this is their conviction that “the veriest beginner ought to be an independent observer and thinker,” and that “the point of view which the zoölogical beginner should take is the point of view that the best and most enlightened zoological scholar takes.”
