Abstract
THE second part of this work consists of elaborate descriptions of fifty preparations in the New Museum at Oxford, designed to illustrate some of the typical specimens of the several animal classes. Thus, among Vertebrata, we have a dissection of the common rat, the skeleton of the same, separate vertebræ of the rabbit, the dissection and the skeleton of a pigeon, the bones of the head and trunk of a fowl, a dissection of the common English snake, vertebræ of a python, dissections and skeletons of a frog and a perch, and vertebræ of a cod.
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, Linacre Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in the University of Oxford. (Oxford: Macmillan and Co., 1870; Clarendon Press Series.)
