Abstract
PROF. BAHL, the author of the memoir under notice, is also the general editor of this useful series. It is ten years since the first edition was published, and the relevant work done in the interval has been incorporated. The book has been thoroughly revised and to some extent rearranged. It is printed upon a more satisfactory paper, which does better justice to the illustrations. Five of the figures of the first edition have been omitted, nine new ones inserted and several have been redrawn, resulting in a distinct improvement. The brief account of the development has been omitted but an interesting new chapter on the receptor organs has been put in. The old chapter on habits and distribution has been rewritten and extended, and removed to near the end as “Bionomics, Distribution and Relationships”.
