Abstract
DURING the nineteenth century many detailed works on comparative morphology were published, both for vertebrates and invertebrates. At the close of the century, morphology was frowned upon by the eager physiologists, experimental biologists, embryologists and geneticists, who maintained that morphology was worked out. But as usual the pendulum has swung back again, and there has been a realization that morphology is the fundamental study upon which the others are based, and that not less but more is needed.
