Handbook of Invertebrate Zoology: For Laboratories and Seaside Work (Classic Reprint)

Most lecturers upon natural science find, no doubt, that preliminary work, the presentation of the facts upon which science is based, absorbs so much time that there is no room for a philosophical discussion of the scientific aspects of the subject. I have, therefore, attempted to show the student how to acquire a knowledge of the facts for himself, in order to remove this burden from lecturers and text-books. The types selected for description are necessarily few ;but I hope that a thorough study of all the forms which are here described will fit the student for more extensive research. In the treatment of each type I have not attempted to make an exhaustive monograph for the use of specialists, or to present all that is known about it; but simply to call the attention of the beginner to the structural features which he can readily observe for himself.
