Abstract
(1) IN this memoir are recorded the methods and results of the principal lines of experimentation designed to test observation, memory and the reactions of animals. More than half the work is devoted to the consideration of vertebrate animals, fish, rats, dogs, monkeys, etc., and the rest of the work, which is perhaps of more particular interest to zoologists, to the invertebrates. Experimental work on the reactions of the latter is considered in systematic order, beginning with the Protozoa and passing successively to the echinoderms, annelids, molluscs, crustaceans, arachnids and insects- a very useful summary of present knowledge.
