Abstract
THE teacher of zoology to students whose chief i interest in the science depends upon its relations to some branch of human industry has often to decide whether he shall give the more prominent place to general principles or to special and technical applications. The rival points of view are well illustrated in these two works. Prof. Osborn, in the introduction to his handy “text-book,” rightly advocates the claims of sound general principles.
