in Carboniferous days, the Vertebrata followed them on to land and, 

 though as Insecta the Arthropoda still maintain themselves and limit 

 the activities of land Vertebrata in many ways, yet if we have regard 

 to bulk of body, and above all to psychic development, there can be 

 no question as to which is really the victorious race. 



Our task is finished ; we have striven to represent the science of 

 Comparative Embryology, not as a well-ordered and complete system 

 of philosophy, but rather as a gold-mine from which rich rewards have 

 already been reaped, but of which only a small part has as yet been 

 developed, and which promises abundance of gratifying surprises and 

 rewarding returns to the worker of the future. 



" The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few."
