••This work, the significance and usefulness of which must be unquali- 

 fiedly conceded, represents an enormous amount of labor upon the part of 

 two experienced teachers. Nor would we underrate the admirable mechan- 

 ical features of the work and the educational portent of the issue of so large 

 and costlv a text-book upon a single branch of natural history. The intent 

 and method of the authors are clearly set forth in the preface. After a 

 general introduction and a section upon 'General Structure and Physiology." 

 there are presented in turn the twelve phvla recognized, viz. : Protozoa, 

 Porifera. Coelenterata, Platy helminths, Nemathelminths, Trochelminths. 

 Molluscoida, Echinodermata. Annulata, Arthropoda. Mollusca, and (occupy- 

 ing the whole of the second volume) Chordata. corresponding nearly with 

 Vertebrates. The discussion of each class is based upon a more or less 

 detailed account of the anatomy and development of one or more forms. 

 fairly representative and commonly available. The second volume also 

 contains a discussion of the mutual relationships of the Chordata and of the 

 twelve phyla. The last seventv pages are devoted to Geographic Distribu- 

 tion, the Philosophy and History of Zoology, and Modern Literature; seven 

 of the sixty writers recommended being American. "' — The Nation.
