WHITMAN’S SCIENTIFIC WORK® 
Professor Whitman’s scientific work covered an unusually 
broad field. He had a distinct predeliction for monographic 
treatment, and even while engaged on special problems concern- 
ing a particular animal or group of animals little escaped his obser- 
vation or his note-book. Thus his work on leeches was in the 
first place embryological, but he soon turned to anatomy and 
taxonomy, and to problems of behavior, all of which are treated 
in his various publications. Later, in his work on the develop- 
ment of Amia and Necturus, but little of which has been pub- 
lished, he also paid particular attention to problems of anatomy 
and behavior. And again, his work on pigeons concerned not 
only problems of heredity and evolution, but he made an exhaus- 
tive study of the taxonomy of the group, and the problems of 
their behavior were constantly in his mind. He also assigned stu- 
dents problems on their development, and a number of papers were 
published by Guyer, Harper, Blount, Patterson, and Bartelmez 
in this field. Another illustration was his plan for a monographic 
study of Arenicola by codperation of a group of his students, 
parts of which have been published. 
His own publications fall mostly in the subjects of embryology, 
comparative anatomy and taxonomy, animal behavior, and evo-
