APPENDIX I 



BOOKS FOR REFERENCE 



The following list makes no pretensions of being a bibliog- 

 raphy of vertebrate anatomy. The student who wishes to go to 

 the original sources should have the advice of his instructor. 

 The references included will be found in most college libraries, 

 and can be read without a great expenditure of time. 



PART I 



Parker and Haswell: Text-book of Zoology, Volume II. 



A book of general reference for the classification of the Chordata. 

 There is an excellent chapter on the structure and development of 

 Amphioxus. 



Cambridge Natural History. 



One of the best references for natural history, with minor discussions 

 of anatomical details. The several volumes on the vertebrates cover 

 the subject thoroughh'. 



Newman: Vertebrate Zoology. 



A brief, but inclusive, treatment of natural history, with sufficient 

 anatomical detail to show the evolutionary implications of the subject. 



Willey: Amphioxus and the Ancestry of the Vertebrates. 



A specialized discussion of the early chordates and their relationship 

 with the vertebrates. 



McEwEN : Vertebrate Embryology. 



A textbook covering the details of comparative embryology, dis- 

 cussed systematically, and beginning with Amphioxus. 



Jenkinson : Vertebrate Embryology. 



A systemic treatment of comparative embryology, more technical 

 than the former reference. It is particularly valuable for the section 

 on mammalian development. 



PART II 



Parker and Haswell: Text-book of Zoology. Volume II. 



The book includes a thorough description of the anatomy of verte- 

 brate types, with sections on the comparative anatomy of each class. 

 Although not treated in a systemic manner, it is one of the best 

 references for the details of anatomy.
