Présentation de l'éditeur
Author has but few words to say by way of preface. It will be seen from the chapters themselves that the greater portion of the work relates to Zoology and especially its palseontological branch while only a small section is devoted to Geology proper. While some of the zoological chapters treat of the natural history of particular groups or species of animals, others are more especially devoted to some of those problems connected with the evolution, development, and mutual relationships of animals which at the present day are attracting so much attention on the part of students of the science. Although necessarily somewhat technical in places, the Author hopes that the popular style, which he has endeavoured to preserve throughout the work, will render it acceptable to those lovers of Nature who are too often repelled by the number of hard words they meet with in the books professedly written for their edification.
