Handbuch der Zoologie

Abstract

THESE four parts complete the second volume of the “Handbuch der Zoologie”. The fifteenth and seventeenth, about 230 pp., are devoted to an excellent account of the Hirudinea which is commendable for its attention not only to general structure and morphology, biology and development, but also to the neurones and other details of histology. About a third of the 300 illustrations are due to the senior author, Dr. J. A. Scriban. Appended is a list of rejected names of genera and species of leeches and the corresponding names now considered to bo valid.
