PRESIDENT OF LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY VERNON L. KELLOGG, M. S. PROFESSOR OF ENTOMOLOGY IN LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY AND HAROLD HEATH, PH. D. PROFESSOR OF ZOOLOGY IN LELAND STANFORD JUNIOR UNIVERSITY ANIMALS A TEXT-BOOK OF ZOOLOGY PUBLISHERS' NOTE THIS Volume comprises Animal Life and Animal Forms, each of which is designed for schools that assign but a half year to Zoology. The two are issued in this form to meet more satisfactorily the requirements of normal schools and all higher schools that give a full year to the subject. It is believed that it will be found a very desirable text, also, for an elementary course in colleges. The prefaces of the two sections of the book explain the plan, scope, and purpose of each. If preferred, the second part of this volume, Animal Forms, treating the morphological side of the subject, can be first taken up; or portions of each may be chosen and arranged in any order that may best suit the teacher's purposes. The first part, Animal Life, gives the ecological features of the subject special prominence. Full indexes will be found at the end of each section. |
