Abstract
AMONG the multitude of text-books upon various branches of zoology, or on zoology as a whole, that it has been our fortune to peruse, there are few, if any, of which we can say that they contain so much information in a comparatively small space as is the case with the one before us. Nor is this all; whereas many works of a kindred nature are written in such an extremely abstruse style, and are so overloaded with technicalities as to be well nigh unreadable by any but the most thoroughgoing and uncompromising biological student, the style of the present volume is so easy, and the technical terms are so carefully explained, that a reader with little or no previous knowledge of anatomy or zoology would readily comprehend the nature of the structures described.
