A HISTORY Of VERTEBRATES: FISHES 445 



Supplementary Reading 



Parker and Haswell, Text-Book of Zoology, and Young, Life of Vertebrates, contain 

 very good accounts of the major groups of vertebrates. Living species are emphasized. 

 Romer's Man the Vertebrates and Colbert's Evolution of the Vertebrates are very read- 

 able and fascinating accounts of the evolution of back-boned animals. More technical 

 details can be found in Romer, Vertebrate Paleontology, or Gregory, Evolution Emerging. 



The adaptations of fishes and other aspects of their biology are interestingly dis- 

 cussed by Norman in A History of Fishes. The damage caused by the sea lamprey in the 

 Great Lakes, its life history and possible means of control are considered by Applegate 

 and Moffett in an article, Sea Lamprey and Lake Trout, published in Flanagan's Twen- 

 tieth Century Bestiaiy. Those interested in the taxonomy and natural history of marine 

 fishes of the Atlantic Coast should consult Breder, Field Book of Marine Fishes. More 

 technical details of this group of fishes are a\ailable in a monograph. Fishes of the West- 

 ern North Atlantic, being prepared by the Sears Foundation for Marine Research. Two 

 volumes on cyclostomes and cartilaginous fishes, written by Bigelow and Schroeder, have 

 been published.
