Forms of Animal Life; being Outlines of Zoological Classification, based upon Anatomical Investigation, and illustrated by Descriptions of Specimens and of Figures

Abstract

THIS long-promised and hoped-for book has at last appeared, and we may say at once that it fully maintains the well-earned reputation of its learned author. It will probably be most useful to his own pupils, for whom it seems to have been originally designed; and to those students of Comparative Anatomy who teach as well as learn.

Forms of Animal Life; being Outlines of Zoological Classification, based upon Anatomical Investigation, and illustrated by Descriptions of Specimens and of Figures.

By George Rolleston, D.M., F.R.S., Linacre Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in the University of Oxford. (Oxford: Macmillan and Co., 1870; Clarendon Press Series.)
