Text-book of comparative anatomy . has, more than any former writer, utilised the comparativehistory of development in explaining the structure of the animalbody, and has endeavoured always to give the phylogeneticsignificance of ontogenetic facts. Lastly, he has, by the clearsystematic reviews of the various classes and orders which precedethe anatomical account of each race, further facilitated the phylo-genetic comprehension of complicated morphological problems, his PREFACE BY PROFESSOR ERNST HAECKEL IX wisely chosen and carefully executed illustrations assisting materiallyin this result.

It is therefore with great pleasure that I commend this book tothe English student, in accordance with the wish expressed by myfriend Professor Lang and his translators Mr. and Mrs. Bernard, andin the hope that the English translation will promote to as great anextent as the German original the wider study and better com-prehension of animal morphology, and will attract new students tothis noble science.
