 ology OF THE MAMMALIA. Being the substance of the 

 Course of Lectures delivered at the Royal College of Surgeons

 Hunterian Professor of Comparative Anatomy and Physiology. 

 With numerous Illustrations. Globe 8vo. 7''- ^^■ 



Although the present "work contains the substance of a Course of Lectures, 

 the form has been changed, so as the better to adapt it as a hand- 

 book for students. Theoretical views have been almost entirely ex- 

 cluded: and •while it is impossible in a scientific treatise to avoid the 

 employment of technical terms, it has been the author's endeavour to 

 use no more than absolutely necessary, and to exercise due care in 

 selecting only those that seem most appropriate, or which have re- 

 ceived the sanction of general adoption. With a very few excep- 

 tions the illustrations have been drawn expressly for this work from 

 specimens in the Museum, of the Royal College of Surgeons.

 could be done, to chart the entire area of Europe, so far as meteorological 

 stations extend, during one month, viz. the month of December, 1861. 

 Mr. Galton got his data from authorities in every part of Britain 

 and the Continent, and on the basis of these has here drawn up 

 nearly a hundred different Maps and Charts, showing the state of 

 the weather all over Europe during the above period. ^^ If the 

 various Governments and scientific bodies would perform for the 

 whole world for two or three years what, at a great cost and labour, 

 Mr, Galton has done for a part of Europe for one month. Meteoro- 

 logy would soon cease to be made a joke of." — Spectator.
