Abstract
THIS volume is one of the latest additions to the A stock of laboratory hand-books based upon the well-known type-system. It is more comprehensive, but, in detail, much simpler and more elementary, than any of its predecessors, while it differs from them in its method of treatment. The objects and scope of the work are set forth in a short introduction, and the detailed matter is embodied in thirty-two fasciculi, each devoted mainly to a consideration of some one type of organisation. Of these, ten are devoted to Insects and three to Crustacea—this, however, for a special purpose to which we shall allude. Practical hints dealing with methods and the like are incorporated with the text.
An Elementary Course in Practical Zoology.
By B. P. Colton, Instructor in Natural Sciences, Ottawa High School, Illinois. (Boston: D. C. Heath and Co., 1886.)
