Professor Lang has here successfully carried out the very difficult task of selecting the most important results from the bewildering mass of new material afforded by the extensive researches of the last decades, and of combining them with great judgment. Besides this he has, more than any former writer, utilized the comparative history of development in explaining the structure of the animal body, and has endeavored always to give the phylogenetic significance of ontogenetic facts.—From Professor Haeckel’s Preface.

“The present work contains the conclusions upon this great subject of thirty years of thought and observation.... A contribution of the first importance to the literature of the subject. At the same time it would be difficult to find a book more entertaining to the general reader. He writes with the sincerity and easy mastery which comes of fulness of knowledge. There can be no more interesting guide in that great wonderland of science in which he has been so long one of the chief discoverers.”—New York Times.

OPINIONS OF THE PRESS.

“The Columbia University of New York has decided to issue a series of small volumes on Biology, under the editorship of Dr. Osborn, the Da Costa Professor of Biology. It is not to be a library of elementary text-books in the ordinary sense of the term, but to consist chiefly of works dealing with certain fundamental problems which will concern students who have passed beyond preliminaries.”—Natural Science (London).

“If the other volumes in course of preparation by the professors in biology of Columbia University are up to the high standard of the present one (Amphioxus and the Ancestry of the Vertebrates), that institution is to be congratulated upon the enterprise of those who initiated the project.”—The American Naturalist (Philadelphia).

“The ‘Columbia University Biological Series’ is a new scientific publishing venture undertaken by Messrs. Macmillan & Co., under the general editorial supervision of Henry Fairfield Osborn. Numbers 1 and 2 of the series reach us, From the Greeks to Darwin, by H. F. Osborn, and Amphioxus and the Ancestry of the Vertebrates, by Arthur Willey. Judging from these volumes, the Columbia Biological Series will be of the utmost interest to students.”—Philadelphia Evening Telegram.

“The ‘Columbia University Biological Series,’ as inaugurated by the Macmillans, opens with a general review of the rise and progress of the evolution idea, from its first rudimentary perception by the Greek mind to the full development wrought out by Darwin.”—Milwaukee Sentinel.
