A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

Preface tives, but the first duty of a lecturer is to address his audience and to make his subject plain and interesting, if he can, rather than to talk to the scientific gallery over the heads of the audience. In preparing the lectures for publication it has not been possible to avoid the technical treatment of certain objects, but in the main the lectures are still addressed to the audience rather than to the scientific gallery. Unfortunately biology is still a strange subject to many intelligent people and its terminology is rather terrifying to the uninitiated; but it is hoped that the glossary at the end of the volume may rob these unfamiliar terms bf many of their terrors. The first three chapters of this book appeared in Popular Science Monthly, June toN ovember 1914, by previous arrangement with the Princeton University Press, and a portion of the last chapter was first published inS cience in January 1913.

The writer wishes to express his obligation to all authors and publishers upon whose works he has drawn, and he thanks especially the Columbia University Press for permission to use Figures 48 and 50, and theO pen Court Publishing Company for Figures 84-87. I take this opportunity of thanking Dr. W. E. Castle ond Dr. J. H. McG regor for the use of photographs which are reproduced in Figures Si, 82 and 96; and I wish especially to thank my assista
