Abstract
THIS is a wholly admirable text-book. We know of no book in the English language exactly like it, none that attempts so much within so limited a space, and, moreover, attempts it so successfully, with a due regardto the requirements of those for whom it is written and to the maintenance of a proper balance between the various parts of the subject. The book is divided into three approximately equal parts, the first giving a rapid survey of the morphology of each phylum of the animal kingdom, the second an account of the physiology of animals, and the third a review of the main principles of embryology and the problems of variation, heredity, sex, and evolution. The book concludes with a short bibliography ofmore advanced text-books and original memoirs to which the student can turn for more detailed information on any point.
