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.
