Reseña del editor
The present book is intended to cover the laboratory work in a course in zoology for beginners. In addition a more general idea of animals should be gained from lectures, from the study of some text-book of zoology, and, above all, from the observation and collection of animals in the fields and streams. Only a few forms have been chosen for study, experience having shown that in a beginning course better results are obtained by spending the time in the thorough dissection of a few forms than in the rapid study of many. Few illustrations are needed in this work. While it is true that the student will make more rapid progress with the picture of the dissection before him, it is equally true that what is thus gained in time is lost in power, the student being naturally tempted to rely upon the picture rather than upon his own work. The question as to the order in which the different forms should be taken up is largely one of convenience and individual preference. While in the present book we have followed the method of going from the simpler to the more complex forms, there is no reason why the order should not be varied, or even reversed at the desire of the teacher.
