Abstract
THESE cards, illustrating the structure of in-vertebrates, are on the same lines as the vertebrate series by Lockyer and Crofts. Selected types from the protozoa, coelenterates, flatworms, roundworms, annelids, Crustacea, insects and molluscs have been chosen, and a few figures of Amphioxus appended. The drawings are clear and bold, the directions concise, and the notes on the culture of some of the organisms should prove useful. But the set is more suited to the school than to the university, being neither accurate enough nor full enough for first-year university students, who would discover errors in many of the figures, for example, in the leg of the cockroach, the head of Nereis and the gills of Amphioxus, and who would need sections as well as dissections of their types.
