Abstract

IF those of us who have laboured up the hill of life revert to the studies of our youth, I think we shall not remember to have heard our teachers speak of the “Morphology of Animals.” I cannot remember when or where I first met with the word; although the idea itself with regard to plants, has been familiar to me for nearly forty years, that is, since the time when 1 became possessed of “Lindley's Introduction to Botany;” but he used the term “Organography.” The term “Morphology ” was used by Schleiden in his “Principles of Scientific Botany” at least thirty years ago; and I may say in passing that the study of that work was one of the best preparations I received for the work I have undertaken since.
