A CLASSIFICATION OF
VERTEBRATA,
RECENT AND EXTINCT.
With Diagnoses and Definitions, a Chapter on Geographical
Distribution, and an Etymological Index.
By HANS GADOW, M.A., PH.D., F.R.S.,
STRICKLAND CURATOR AND LECTURER ON ZOOLOGY TO THE UNIVERSITY,
CAMBRIDGE.
'At the end of his work Dr. Gadow adds a useful chapter on the
geographical distribution of the Vertebrata, with a table showing
the approximate number of the known recent species. He also gives
a fanciful though striking calculation to show how some groups are
still in the ascendant, while others are distinctly declining. The
little volume is indeed a welcome addition to the biological student's
library, and it deserves the wide circulation which its author's
eminence is likely to ensure for it.'--_Natural Science._
'It is a book, it need hardly be said, for the student; it is simply
a list of the principal sub-divisions of backboned animals, with just
as much definition as is needed. It may be regarded as an exceedingly
concentrated extract of a full text-book of the vertebrates.'--_Daily
Chronicle._
