The Animal Behavior Series

Under the General Editorship of ROBERT M. YERKES, Ph.D., Instructor in Comparative Philosophy, Harvard University

The aim of the Series is to present a number of small volumes which taken together shall form a comprehensive introduction to Comparative Psychology

NOW READY

The Dancing Mouse

By ROBERT M. YERKES, Ph.D.

Cloth, 12mo, xxi + 290 pages, illus., $1.25 net

“Dr. Yerkes’ book is a most interesting example of modern laboratory methods and can be read with profit by any one, on account of the accurate methods of observation and careful deductive reasoning which it shows. An elaborate, painstaking system of experiments was carried on with over 400 mice, with the object of determining muscular coördination, structural peculiarities, strength of the special sense organs, habit formation, educability, and strength of memory of these little animals. Some experiments were also undertaken along the line of inherited peculiarities.... The work is really only a preliminary study, but it will be read with much interest by all students of comparative psychology.”—Journal of American Medical Association.

The Animal Mind

By MARGARET FLOY WASHBURN, Ph.D., Professor of Philosophy, Vassar College

Cloth, 12mo, 333 pages, $1.60 net

“As the author points out, the title of this book might more appropriately have been ‘The Animal Mind Deduced from Experimental Evidence,’ for the facts here set forth are very largely the results of the experimental method in comparative psychology. The mass of experimental material that has been accumulated from the researches of physiologists and psychologists is already great, but is also for the most part inaccessible to the ordinary student, being widely scattered and to a considerable extent published in the journals of specialists, which the average college library does not contain. Hence the usefulness of the present ... interesting work.”—New York Sun.

OTHER NATURE BOOKS

Four-Footed Americans And their Kin

By MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT. Edited by Frank M. Chapman. Illustrated by Ernest Seton Thompson

Cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net; School Library Edition, 50 cents net

“It deserves commendation for its fascinating style, and for the fund of information which it contains regarding the familiar and many unfamiliar animals of this country. It is an ideal book for children, and doubtless older folk will find in its pages much of interest.”—The Dial.

“Books like this are cups of delight to wide-awake and inquisitive girls and boys. Here is a gossipy history of American quadrupeds, bright, entertaining, and thoroughly instructive. The text, by Mrs. Wright, has all the fascination that distinguishes her other outdoor books.”—The Independent.

Citizen Bird

Scenes from Bird Life in Plain English for a Beginner

By MABEL O. WRIGHT and Dr. ELLIOTT COUES. Profusely Illustrated by Louis Agassiz Fuertes

Cloth, 12mo, $1.50 net; School Library Edition, 50 cents net

“When two writers of marked ability in both literature and natural history unite to produce a work giving scope to their special talents, the public has reason to expect a masterpiece of its kind. In the ‘Citizen Bird,’ by Mabel O. Wright and Dr. Elliott Coues, this expectation is realized—seldom is the plan of a book so admirably conceived, and in every detail so excellently fulfilled.”—The Dial.

“There is no other book in existence so well fitted for arousing and directing the interest that all children feel toward the birds.”—Tribune, Chicago.

Flowers and Ferns In their Haunts

By MABEL OSGOOD WRIGHT

New Edition, cloth, 12mo, $2.00 net

The subjects are treated in their relation to landscape—the whole bound together with a thread of narrative. The book thus has the fascination of romance, yet no better handbook could be found for the study of the flowers in their natural surroundings. There are over 50 full-page plates of the flowers where they live and grow, along the roadside, in wood or by river. In addition to these plates, there are over 100 illustrations in the text, made direct from photographs by the author and by J. H. McFarland.

A Text-book on the Principles of Animal Histology

By ULRIC DAHLGREN, M.S., Assistant Professor of Biology in Princeton University; and WILLIAM A. KEPNER, A.B., Adjunct Professor of Biology in the University of Virginia

Cloth, 515 pp., 8vo, $3.75 net

“The name of the senior author alone leads us to expect much from this volume, and the most careful scrutiny reveals almost no defects. It easily takes first place among histologies, chiefly because of the invaluable comparative element. With few exceptions, histologies, intended as they have been primarily for the medical student, have heretofore been based for the most part on the genus Homo. Morphologists and anatomists will welcome a general histology which in the widest sense holds to its title, treating its subject as a pure science.... One can scarcely imagine a clearer or better arranged text-book either for the general student or for the specialist in any of the many related sciences. Since scientists in many fields often have occasion to refer to or to verify some point in histology, the volume will appeal to readers outside of the domain of histology proper.”—New York Evening Post.

“In marked contrast to practically all the text-books of histology in the English language, which deal largely or exclusively with human or mammalian structures, this new book discusses the tissues of all classes of animals. It is therefore possible to treat the subject much more broadly and satisfactorily than has hitherto been done.”—American Journal of Science.

“When one considers the narrow, technical training which students in histology usually receive, whether they be medical students or not, one cannot but wish that a course similar to that outlined in this book might be given in every college and university.”—Science.

A Synoptic Text-book of Zoölogy for Colleges and Schools

By ARTHUR WISSWALD WEYSSE, A.M., Ph.D. (Harvard), Instructor in Zoölogy at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, and Associate Professor of Physiology at Boston University

Cloth, 545 pp., 8vo, $2.25 net

“To relieve the tenseness of such a study as zoölogy, the author deals—whenever practicable—with some facts of everyday interest, such as the transmission of malaria by mosquitoes, the division of labor among ants and bees, the storing of food for the young, and several others of this character. These are pleasant little oases in the wilderness of rigidly scientific terms and facts. Not only is the author to be congratulated on the perseverance which made the volume possible, but also are the publishers for the mechanical part they have played. The book is entirely up to the high standard of the house that publishes it. The illustrative element is most meritorious.”—Journal of Education.

“A work of great value ... addressed to college students who do not necessarily intend to become specialists, but approach the subject with trained minds and with some knowledge of cognate sciences. We begin, if not literally at the beginning, yet with the protoplasmic cell, but pass almost immediately to the description of the various animal types in which classification in minute subdivisions is not attempted. A third part deals with the general principles of zoölogy. The book has been specially adapted for use in connection with laboratory and field work, as well as for systematic study.”—Churchman.

“The text is noteworthy for its simplicity and clearness, and the choice of subject-matter has been made with care. Considerable attention has been paid to the introduction of illustrative data which bear on general biological problems or are of economic or sanitary importance. The book is also free from the more technical terminology which only the specialist needs. The arrangement of the subject-matter is excellent. After laying down a few general principles, the various animal types are dealt with in detail, and the theoretical phases and general problems are discussed in the closing section. The book forms a clearly presented, well-balanced, comprehensive, and accurate epitome of zoölogy.”—The Dial.

Experimental Zoölogy

By THOMAS HUNT MORGAN, Professor of Experimental Zoölogy, Columbia University

Cloth, 454 pp., 8vo, $2.75 net

“The author long ago won his spurs in this field, through his unrivaled researches in the phenomena of regeneration; and he has now proved himself a master of compilation—selecting the most significant experiments carried on in various countries, weighing them fairly, and summing up with a conservatism which is perhaps the most valuable feature of the book. The thoroughness and lucidity of the work make it serve three distinct purposes: the intelligent layman without any previous knowledge of the subject may read and appreciate any part of it; the student of experimental zoölogy will find it a veritable vade mecum; and the advanced scientist will be glad to refer to the generous summaries of literature relating to each subject.”—Nation.

“Professor Morgan has, however, done much sound and some brilliant work. In his special field, the regrowth of amputated parts and the relation of this property to the general theory of evolution, his experiments have become classic, and he is himself one of the first authorities in the world. His own eminence in the field, combined with a simple, straightforward style, and a just and sympathetic appreciation of the work of other men, even when their opinions are opposed to his own, render him especially well fitted to sum up the general results of the new science. This he has accomplished with marked success in the work before us. He has succeeded in bringing together a large body of fact without becoming dull; without being fatuously ‘popular,’ he has been untechnical and clear.”—Boston Transcript.

The Protozoa

By GARY N. CALKINS, Ph.D., Instructor in Zoölogy, Columbia University

Cloth, 347 pp., 8vo, $3.00 net

“The author has not aimed at putting forward an exhaustive, severely scientific treatise upon the group in question. His work may be described rather as a simple and intelligible introduction to the study of the Protozoa and of the many fascinating biological problems connected with, or illustrated by, this subdivision of the animal kingdom, in such a way as to awaken the interest of the beginner, no less than to strengthen the hands of the expert.”—Nature.

Text-book of Palæontology
