Excerpt from Outlines of Zoology
This book is intended to serve as a manual which Students of Zoology may use in the lecture room, museum, and laboratory, and as an accompaniment to several well-known works, cited in the Introduction, most of which follow other modes of treatment. The volume is, in great part, a re-edition, of manuscript notes which I have sometimes circulated among my students in order to facilitate both their work and mine. Considering the limited size and purpose of the book, I have seldom thought it necessary to cite the authorities from whose works the facts have been obtained.
To these authorities, especially to those cited in the "Notes on Books," I acknowledge my indebtedness. I desire also to record my obligations to three friends, to Mr. G. S. Corstorphine, B.Sc, for his revision of the proof-sheets and for the index, to Mr. Norman Wyld, for most of the chapter on physiology, and to Mr. William Smith, for the care he has taken in drawing the illustrations.
