A TEXT-BOOK 



OF 



VERTEBRATE ZOOLOGY 



BY 



J. S. KINGSLEY 



Professor of Zoology in Tuffs College 



R. L., in Nature. "Among the multitude of text - books upon 

 various branches of zoology, or on zoology as a whole, that it has been 

 our fortune to peruse, there are few, if any, of which we can say that 

 they contain so much information in a comparatively small space as is 

 the case with the one before us. Nor is this all ; whereas many works 

 of a kindred nature are written in such an extremely abstruse style, and 

 are so overloaded with technicalities as to be well-nigh unreadable by 

 any but the most thorough-going and uncompromising biological student, 

 the style of the present volume is so easy, and the technical terms are 

 so carefully explained, that a reader with little or no previous knowledge 

 of anatomy or zoology would readily comprehend the nature of the 

 structures described. . . . The work is thoroughly comprehensive in its 

 scope ; and is, in fact, for the most part exactly what such a treatise 

 should be. We have no hesitation in saying that Prof. Kingsley's little 

 voiume is worthy of a hearty welcome on this side of the Atlantic on 

 the part of both teachers and pupils." 



PROF. C. L. EDWARDS {University of Cincinnati}. "Shows the wide 

 knowledge and fine discrimination which distinguish creative authorship 

 from servile compilation. Prof. Kingsley's clear presentation of the 

 great volume of facts concerning the vertebrates which he has thoroughly 

 mastered, the new and artistic diagrams, as well as the spirit of research 

 which illumines the whole work, make this an invaluable text-book."
