(Page 352.) 2. Comparative Anatomy Owing to the less marked structural differentiation of plants in comparison with animals, plant anatomy lends itself less readily to descriptive analysis, so that an epoch in the study of comparative anatomy is not so well defined in botany as in the sister science, zoology. Comparative anatomy as a really important aspect of zoological work, in fact as a science in itself, was the result of the life-work of.
