  Pp.

   328

  — 
  The 
  recent 
  trend 
  of 
  biological 
  teaching 
  away 
  

   from 
  anatomical 
  details 
  and 
  toward 
  a 
  return 
  to 
  the 
  Natural 
  His- 
  

   tory 
  studies 
  which 
  characterized 
  the 
  science 
  a 
  half 
  century 
  ago 
  

   is 
  well 
  illustrated 
  by 
  this 
  new 
  book, 
  prepared 
  for 
  use 
  in 
  British 
  

   schools. 
  The 
  Introduction 
  consists 
  of 
  a 
  well-written 
  and 
  well-illus- 
  

   trated 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  external 
  structure 
  and 
  habits 
  of 
  British 
  

   invertebrate 
  animals, 
  with 
  anatomical 
  descriptions 
  sufficient 
  only 
  

   for 
  an 
  understanding 
  of 
  the 
  general 
  structural 
  plan 
  of 
  the 
  dif- 
  

   ferent 
  groups. 
  

  

  The 
  subject 
  matter 
  is 
  divided 
  into 
  twenty-seven 
  chapters, 
  each 
  

   of 
  which 
  takes 
  up 
  for 
  discussion 
  a 
  single 
  group 
  of 
  animals. 
  At 
  

   the 
  end 
  of 
  each 
  chapter 
  is 
  a 
  brief 
  survey 
  of 
  the 
  classification 
  of 
  

   the 
  principal 
  animal 
  forms 
  belonging 
  to 
  the 
  group 
  under 
  discus- 
  

   sion, 
  with 
  directions 
  for 
  their 
  collection 
  and 
  study. 
  The 
  writer 
  

   wisely 
  selects 
  for 
  description 
  the 
  forms 
  of 
  common 
  occurrence 
  or 
  

   popular 
  interest. 
  The 
  marine 
  forms 
  receive 
  less 
  attention 
  than 
  

   those 
  of 
  the 
  lakes 
  and 
  fields 
  ; 
  243 
  pages, 
  or 
  more 
  than 
  half 
  the 
  

   book, 
  are 
  devoted 
  to 
  the 
  insects. 
  The 
  majority 
  of 
  the 
  illustra- 
  

   tions 
  were 
  drawn 
  especially 
  for 
  this 
  work 
  and 
  are 
  of 
  distinct 
  merit.

  This

  enemies 
  of 
  the 
  human 
  race,

  mosquito. 
  The

  has 
  had 
  wide 
  experience

  the 
  conduct 
  of 
  public 
  campaigns 
  

   against 
  this 
  pest, 
  and 
  gives 
  here 
  the 
  methods 
  which 
  he 
  has 
  found 
  

   most 
  successful 
  in 
  protecting 
  the 
  individual 
  and 
  the 
  community 
  

   from 
  its 
  attacks. 
  The 
  economic 
  importance 
  of 
  the 
  malarial 
  para- 
  

   site,

  history 
  and 
  means 
  of 
  transmission, 
  the 
  different 
  kinds 
  

   of 
  mosquitoes, 
  essentials 
  of 
  control, 
  results 
  accomplished 
  by 
  

   public 
  crusades, 
  advice 
  as 
  to 
  the 
  management 
  of

  cam- 
  

   paigns, 
  expenses 
  involved, 
  and 
  desired 
  legislation 
  are 
  some 
  of 
  the 
  

   practical 
  features 
  which 
  comprise 
  the 
  various 
  chapters. 
  This 
  

   book 
  will 
  furnish 
  the 
  information 
  necessary 
  for 
  the 
  guidance 
  of 
  

   public 
  health 
  officers 
  in 
  this 
  most 
  important 
  sanitary 
  problem.
