Abstract
THIS is a new series of large wall diagrams for lecture rooms, similar to those which we owe to Leuckart and Nitsche. The two samples we have seen—of the sea urchin and the snail—command our admiration, especially the former. They are boldly and clearly drawn, with more shading than colour, and they stand out admirably from a distance. Two of those on the sea-urchin sheet are even beautiful. Our only criticism is that it seems a mistake to mix up mere diagrams, e.g. two simple figures on the snail sheet, with the chief picture, which shows things more or less as they are. The mere diagram can be drawn on the blackboard in a minute, and should not be put on the same plane as the elaborate drawing of the half-opened sea urchin, which the teacher requires as a permanent part of his illustration equipment.
