Excerpt from A Text-Book of Zoology, Vol. 2 of 2 IN the arrangement which it has been found convenient to follow in the present work, the Vertebrate animals (fishes, Amphibians, Reptiles, Birds, and Mammals), together with the Cephalochorda or Lancelets, the Urochorda or Ascidians, and the Hemichorda or Balanoglossus and its allies, are all grouped together in a single phylum - the Chordata. The main groups comprised in this assemblage, however, differ so widely from one another' in certain essential points, and the common features uniting them together are so few, that it has been thought advisable to depart from the plan of arrangement followed in connection with the rest of the phyla, and to make a primary division in this case not into classes, but into sub-phyla. In accordance with this scheme the phylum Chordata is regarded as made up of three sdb-phyla - the Hemichorda, the Urochorda, and the Euchorda, the last-mentioned comprising the two sections Acrania and Craniata or Vertebrate, each of which receives separate treatment.

Excerpt from A Text-Book of Zoology, Vol. 1 of 2 The various Sections have been written by the authors in fairly equal proportions, but the work of each has been carefully read and criticised by the other, and no disputed point has been allowed to stand without thorough discussion.

Excerpt from A Student's d104-Book of Zoology, Vol. 1 IN preparing the present work I have been actuated mainly by the desire to place before English students of Zoology a treatise in which the subject was dealt with on the lines followed with so much advantage by Claus and his predecessors in their works on Zoology. My original intention was to bring out a new edition of Claus' Lehrbuch, revised and brought up, to date, and a trace of this intention may be seen in a few pages of the present volume. But this plan was, for various reasons, soon given up, and the present treatise is, with the exception of about twenty pages, an. Entirely new work.

Excerpt from Zoology: A Textbook for College and University Students After using much of the subject matter as a mimeographed text, the author prepared the manuscript in its final form, and during three summers has availed himself of the aid of many specialists at the Marine Biological Laboratory, Woods Hole, Mass. Through the interest of various authorities who gave advance information about their work, certain chapters include material prior to the actual publication of the research discussed. Some of the most important features of the book are the logical arrangement of facts about the animals within a group, a statement of the chief characteristics at the beginning of the discussion, and a summary on the economic importance at the end of each section. The newer physiology has been introduced and a bibliography checked by experts in each field is given at the end of each chapter. Sources readily available have been selected and resumes chosen instead of the pioneer researches. Extensive discussions of Embry ology and Animal Behavior have been found undesirable since such studies cannot be comprehensively treated in an introductory course without excluding other fundamental subjects.

Excerpt from College Zoology This book is intended to serve as a text for beginning students in universities and colleges, or for students who have already taken a course in general biology and wish to gain a more com prehensive View of the animal kingdom. It differs from many of the college textbooks of zoology now on the market in several important respects: (1) the animals and their organs are not only described, but their functions are pointed out; (2) the ani mals described are in most cases native species; and (3) the relations of the animals to man are emphasized. Besides serv ing as a textbook, it is believed that this book will be of interest to the general reader, since it gives a bird's-eye View of the entire animal kingdom as we know it at the present time. Within the past decade there has been a tendency for teachers of zoology to pay less attention to morphology and more to physiology. As a prominent morphologist recently said.

Excerpt from A Student's Text-Book of Zoology, Vol. 2 In presenting the second part of my work on Zoology to the public I must apologise for the delay in its appearance and for the fact that I am not keeping to the undertaking which I gave in the preface to my first volume that the work would be completed in two volumes The delay in publication has been caused in part at least by the fact that the Vertebrata compel a lengthier and more detailed treatment than the other groups. Not only is more known about them, but they excite greater interest, and their palaeontological history has been more completely worked out than in the case of any other phylum. The result has been the present bulky volume which deals only with them and with Amphioxus. Embryology is of course excluded, except in the case of Amphioxus, but I have endeavoured to deal fairly fully with anatomy, habits, and classification. In the systematic portions I have probably been too ambitious, but the usefulness of a book of this kind depends largely upon its. completeness in this respect, and in cases of doubt I have generally included rather than excluded. In Aves alone have I made a selection; for there are many excellent works devoted to them and it would be impossible to give anything like a complete list of their genera. In judging the anatomical portions I would ask the reader to remember that this is not exclusively a work on Comparative Anatomy, and limitations of space forbid an exhaustive treatment. This branch of the subject has not, however, been neglected, and questions of general interest have usually been at least touched upon. Considerable space has been given to extinct forms.
