Abstract
THE aged master and founder of modern comparative anatomy has completed his life's task, and he has retired from the busy world. The results of half a century's active research and incessant thought are embodied in his “Vergleichende Anatomie der Wirbelthiere,” of which the second volume deals with the alimentary and respiratory, vascular and urinogenital organs. The plan of the work now needs no further comment;1 it is the same as that of the first volume. Short, extremely condensed accounts of invertebrate conditions form a kind of introduction to each chapter, which then deals with the Vertebrata to a very full extent, certainly much more fully than any other general and comprehensive book.
