Abstract
THOSE who write books to assist the University professor and the advanced student of zoology are entitled to great consideration on the part of those to whom their work is addressed, for their self-appointed task is a most difficult and in many ways an elusive one. The mass of detailed concrete fact with which such authors attempt to grapple is simply prodigious, and increases yearly at an enormously rapid rate. The generalisations and theories which hold these facts together are in proportion delicate and flimsy structures which, though they are absolutely essential, yet are easily strained, misrepresented, ignored or ludicrously accentuated by any but the most careful and judicious writer.
