BIBLIOGRAPHICAL NOTICES. 



A Treatise on Zoology. Edited by E. Bay Lankester, M.A., LL.D., 

 F.R.S.— Part III. The Echinoderma. By F. A. Bather, M.A., 

 assisted by J. W. Gregory, D.Sc, and E. S. Goodrich, M.A. 

 London : Adam & Charles Black, 1900. 



The present volume, on the Echinoderma, is the first published, 

 but third in order of a Comprehensive Treatise on Zoology, which 

 has been for some time past in preparation under the guidance of 

 Prof. E. Bay Lankester. 



Bather more than half of this volume has been written by Mr. F. 

 A. Bather. Mr. E. S. Goodrich is responsible for the section on the 

 Holothuroidea, and Dr. J. W. Gregory for that on the Stelleroidea 

 and Echinoidea. 



This is essentially a student's book. Its aim is to be a syste- 

 matic rather than an anatomical work, hence facts that are of 

 purely anatomical interest find no place here. This is well, for 

 they have recently been dealt with in Prof. Lang's excellent 

 compendium, and would only crowd out matter more germane to 

 the purpose. Already this book has been much compressed and 

 any further condensation would seriously threaten the usefulness 

 of the whole. 



This work is reared upon the foundation of phylogeny aud 

 ontogeny ; and if it be objected that this is a somewhat insecure 

 foundation, it must at least be admitted it is the ideal aim of every 

 post-Darwinian taxonomist. It may be claimed for this book that 

 it is unique, in that fossil and living forms are regarded as common 

 material for the building thereof. The former are not regarded as 

 merely decorative elements. So well has the piecing together of 

 these fragments been done, that their true relationships to the living 

 forms can be grasped with something more like certitude than ever
