Animal Biology. By C. Lloyd Morgan. (Rivingtons.)—This is a text-book
of biology divided into vertebrate and invertebrate, types of each being given, and the anatomy and physiology discussed and explained. In the former division we have the frog, pigeon, and rabbit ; in the latter, the crayfish, cockroach, earth-worm, snail, mussel, liverfluke, tapeworm, hydra, and amoeba, other examples being adduced when necessary. Both divisions are thus fairly well represented without being overcrowded, a great advantage, as the student has two or three representative types clearly impressed on his memory. The book itself is of a convenient size, easily yet care- fully written, without being diffuse, and in company with a microsoope and a manual containing the practical part of the subject, it will teach the student enough anatomy and histology for good ground-work.
