    sible, the criticisms which are only hinted at here. At the same time I cannot hope to build. That is the task of the great band of workers in many departments of Biology, who, undeterred by failure and urged on by the fire, enthusiasm, and generous aspirations of youth, return time after time, generation after generation, to the assault of the fortresses of nature well knowing that their material reward will be small, that defeat means the world’s neglect and that success, except the greatest, brings but a pittance of its esteem. To them I inscribe this book in the hope that it may serve if only to a small extent to smooth over the difficulties of part of the road which at first they have to traverse. A. SEDGWICK. Trinity College, Cambridge, February, 1905.
