Abstract
DR. SCHUBERG has set out to write a laboratory manual of methods for dealing with different groups of animals, but found that there was a good deal of general descriptive matter as to methods, apparatus, and reagents to be dealt with before the systematic treatment of the groups could be reached. It is this general part that occupies the whole of the present volume. A good deal of it resembles an instrument dealer's catalogue, and almost every piece of apparatus used for zoological technique is described and figured. Then the choice of instruments and their use and abuse are considered, with many experienced remarks. The routine of zoological procedure, fixing, staining, mounting, the use of the microscope, and so on, are dealt with. There are many useful references to books or papers that advocate special methods.
