SPEAKER. — " In this sphere Professor Zittel's books have long held the 

 field as the standard works of their class, but to many they have been inaccessible 

 on account of their being in a foreign tongue. ... It has not merely been 

 translated ; it has been edited and brought up to date as well. . . . The author 

 and editor have conferred a great boon upon their fellow-workers, whether 

 English or foreign, by bringing out what is really a new edition of this work. 

 ... A most valuable addition to the scientific literature of the world, and the 

 publication of the second volume, dealing Math the vertebrata, will be awaited 

 Avith the keenest interest on all sides." 



FIELD. — " An aclmiraljle introduction to the study of those fossils or 

 petrified organic remains of plants and animals which existed befoi'e the present 

 geological period and the advent of man on the face of the globe. . . . Will be 

 of the greatest possible assistance to all geological students. , . . Too much 

 praise cannot be bestowed on the accuracy and beauty of the illustrations.'"
