" There has been long felt a great need in this country of a good 

 Zoology adapted for our schools. ... So far as I can judge from ex- 

 amination of the book, it seems to me to be well arranged and planned 

 and likely to be very useful in our colleges." 



— H. W. Conn, Wesleyan University. 



" I think it will supply a need, not before met, of a brief but clear 

 and interesting outline for classes in Zoology. I have never seen its 

 equal and intend to introduce it next year." 



— H. D. Densmore, Beloit College.

This book includes in a single volume of convenient size all that is 

 necessary for an elementary course in zoology in our American colleges 

 suitable for the general student and at the same time a proper intro- 

 duction to extended treatises, or the books distinctively on comparative 

 anatomy, for the student who wishes to pursue the subject further. 

 There is at present no other book on zoology that exactly meets this 

 need or that treats the subject in a way suited to the adult student who 

 is, to some extent, capable of thinking for himself and forming his own 

 judgments. Hence the treatment here is new; the selection of facts 

 and their arrangement differ from that of existing text-books; in fact, 

 this is not a text-book as that term is properly used to-day when applied 

 to extended treatises, usually in more than one volume, which enter 

 into the subject exhaustively. Hence the whole subject is epitomized; 

 the fundamental facts of the science, not the theories of the author, 

 are presented to the student; each subject is handled synoptically, not 

 treated fragmentarily, as in the majority of the elementary books, whicli 

 are for the most part adapted to children only ; thus, the purpose has 

 been to present a resume, readable it is hoped, which shall be suited to 

 the large class of students for whom such a treatment is needed. 

 Hence the title of the work.
