Abstract
THE first edition of Prof. Rolleston's “Forms of Animal Life” was published in 1870. Avowedly an educational work, and written expressly for students, it came at a time when the teaching of zoology was in a very different position from that which it now holds, and opportunities for systematic laboratory instruction were rare.
Forms of Animal Life.
A Manual of Comparative Anatomy, with Descriptions of Selected Types. By the late George Rolleston., Linacre Professor of Anatomy and Physiology in the University of Oxford. Second Edition, Revised and Enlarged by W. Hatchett Jackson, M.A., Natural Science Lecturer, St. John's College, Oxford. (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1888.)
