'HIS work is intended to acquaint the student with the general structure of the cat, and at the same time introduce him to some of the most important morphologic fea- tures of the Mammalian. All eminent zoologists agree on the desirability of beginning zoological work by studying one of the higher animals. Again, since the majority of college students have not time for the acquisition of a fruitful knowledge of both vertebrates and invertebrates, the study of the former is a matter of vital importance, as • it enables the student to become familiar with the anatomy and physi- ology of his own body. It also has the advantage of throwing light on the significant problem of organic evolu- tion, such as is not to be derived from the study of invertebrate forms. _ Pro- fessor Davison's work has a distinct place in biological study. Synopsis of Contents :—The Bio- logical Sciences—Classification of the Animal Kingdom—Preparation and Preservation of Material — General Structure of a Vertebrate—The Skel- eton—The Joints—The Muscles—Or- gans of Digestion — The Vascular System—Respiratory System—Excre- tory and Reproductive Systems— Nervous System—Index. " It is designed to fill the gap between the more detailed works and those which are merely laboratory guides, and to afford the student who cannot pursue a lengthy course of zoological study, a general idea of the structure of a mammal and of the principles of mammalian anatomy. The book furnishes an excellent idea of the structure of the cat, free from a superfluity of detail. Throughout the book are frequent remarks of a comparative nature, and at t
