    PRET A OE. The present work is intended to provide students of comparative anatomy with a condensed statement of the . most important facts relating to the structure of verte- brated animals, which- have hitherto been ascertained. Except in a very few cases, I have intentionally abstained from burdening the text with references ; and, therefore, the reader, while he is justly entitled to hold me respon- sible for any. errors he may detect, will do well to give me no credit for what may seem original, unless his knowledge is sufficient to render him a competent judge on that head. About two-thirds of the illustrations are original, the rest ^ are copied from figures given by Agassiz, Bischoff, Burmeister, Busch, Cams, Duges, Flower, Gegenbaur, Hyrtl, Yon Meyer, Miiller, Pander and DAlton, Parker, Quatrefages, and Traquair. A considerable portion of the book has been in type for some years; and this circumstance must be my excuse for appearing to ignore the views of several valued con- temporaries. I refer more especially to those contained in recently-published works of Professors Flower and Gegenbaur. • London, September, ISYl. * Namely, Figures 1, 6,10,11,12,13,15, 18, 23, 26, 28, 29, 30, 81, 36, 39, 41,
