Abstract
THE series of notes and directions issued under this title by Mr. Brooks, of the Johns Hopkins Univer sity, Baltimore, is an interesting evidence of the progress which the practical study of zoology is making in American universities, and more especially of the valuable services which the Baltimore University is rendering to education in science. The book consists of brief notes describing the appearances of a series of invertebrate animals before and during successive stages of dissection or development, as the case may be. Diagrammatic sketches (for the most part original, or copied with a few original touches from English authors) are introduced into the text. The animals chosen by Mr. Brooks are the following:—Amœba, Paramecium, Vorticella, Sycandra (Calcispongiag), Eucope (Leptomedusas), Mnemopsis (Anthomedusas), Asteracanthion, Arbacia (Echinid), Lumbricus, Macrobdella (Hirudinean), Callinectes (Brachyuvous Decapod Crustacean), Cyclops, Acridium (Orthoptera), Anodonta, Loligo.
