Book Description
Excerpt from d104-Book of Comparative Anatomy, Vol. 2 The fact that this second volume of the translation appears four years after the first is due partly to the delay in the issue of the third and fourth German parts of which it is composed, and partly to the increased difficulty in the work of translation. A comparison of the two volumes will show at a glance that the work has developed under the hands of the author: the treatment has become more elaborate. The two "chapters" which practically fill this volume are in reality more like comprehensive treatises on the groups with which they deal, and as such could only be adequately translated from the German by some one with a very special knowledge of both groups. There are probably few zoologists who have attempted to make a special study of two such heterogeneous phyla as the Mollusca and the Echinodermata. In addition, therefore, to frequent references to the original literature and to constant applications to kind friends, the whole of the text relating to the two chief groups was submitted to specialists for revision. The translators beg to tender their warmest thanks to their friends who kindly undertook this laborious task. Mr. B. B. Woodward read the text of the chapter dealing with the Mollusca, revising the terminology, and suggesting slight alterations, which have been either adopted without comment in the text or else placed in short footnotes. Mr. W. Percy Sladen and Mr. F. A. Bather revised the text dealing with the Echinodermata, each with special reference to the group with which his name is most associated. Thanks are also due to Professor Jeffery Bell for his kind assistance in the solution of difficulties. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Introduction to the Study of the Comparative Anatomy of Animals, Vol. 2 The publication of this volume has been long delayed, owing to my having been on military duty throughout the year 1900. As in the first volume, I have been guided in my selection Of types Of animal organisation by the requirements of students reading for the preliminary and intermediate science examina tions in the Universities Of Great Britain. A considerable space has been allotted to the leading features of the embryology of the various types, since, as I believe, a just appreciation Of the problems of Comparative Anatomy cannot be attained without the study of embryonic as well as adult structures.

Book Description
Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Book Description
Excerpt from Comparative Anatomy and Physiology The reader who is sufficiently acquainted with the progress in vertebrate physiology during the last phase of physiological methods, and who knows how scattered and incomplete are the investigations which have been made by the same kind of physical and chemical inquiries on invertebrate animals, will not expect to find in the present volume any complete statement of the physiology of animals, in the sense in which that term is now used. Such observations as have been made without especial reference to the vital processes of man are, for the most part, very valuable and suggestive but the time to write a text book oi Comparative Physiology, as we now understand it, has not yet arrived.
