REFERENCE BOOKS. 



In the classroom there should be some works of reference 

 and the teacher should have and use others. As an aid in 

 selection of these works the following remarks may be of 

 value : 



There are a number of guides for the dissection of ani- 

 mals. One of the oldest and best of these is the "Practical 

 Biology" of Huxley and Martin (Macmillan & Co.), which 

 deals with both plants and animals in a thorough manner, 

 although but a few forms are included. Of a somewhat 

 similar character is Dodge's 'Elementary Practical Biol- 

 ogy" (Harper & Brothers), which enters more into the 

 physiological side of the forms studied. The "Practical 

 Zoology' of Marshall and Hurst (Putnam) is confined 

 solely to animals, which it describes in a thorough manner. 

 Descriptions of more forms of Invertebrates will be found 

 in Bumpus' " Invertebrate Zoology' (Holt), Pratt's 

 " Invertebrate Zoology' (Ginn), and Brooks' "Inverte- 

 brate Zoology' 1 (Cassino), the latter treating of the em- 

 bryology of some as well. For Vertebrates there are 

 Parker's "Zootomy' (Macmillan), and anatomies of the 

 cat by Gorham and Tower (Putnam), Reighard and 

 Jennings (Holt) and Davison. 



For general accounts of the structure of animals, giving 

 general statements for all groups, Jackson's edition of 

 Rolleston's "Forms of Animal Life" (Macmillan) and 

 Gegenbaur's " Comparative Anatomy " (out of print; only 

 to be found second-hand) are good. The general struc- 

 ture of invertebrate forms is covered by Lang's "Text- 

 book of Comparative Anatomy' (Macmillan) ; Shipley's 

 "Invertebrate Zoology' (Macmillan), McMurrich's "In- 

 vertebrate Morphology' (Holt), and Huxley's "Anatomy
