Abstract
THIS little book is written as a guide to the elementary zoology required by the Science and Art Department. There already exists at least one work designed for this special purpose, and several others more or less adapted for these examinations. Most of these have been written by men who though teaching zoology can hardly claim to be specialists in this subject; consequently, on coming across a book written by such a well-known zoologist as Mr. Beddard, one naturally expects that the work will be something out of the common. We are afraid that any one taking up this book with such expectations will be disappointed; for although this book may be better than those already in existence, we do not consider that Mr. Beddard has done either himself or the subject justice in it, the book having the appearance of being turned out in a hurry and without due care.
Elementary Practical Zoology.
By Frank E. Beddard Pp. vi + 210; with 93 illustrations. (London: Longmans, Green and Co., 1898.)
