Pratt, Henry Sherring. Course in vertebrate zoology: a guide to the dissection and comparative study of vertebrate animals. *$1.50. Ginn.
6–1432.
“The work includes practical directions for the dissection and study of seven types of vertebrates; the dogfish for the elasmobranchs; the perch for the teleost; the Necturus and frog for the amphibians; the turtle; pigeon; and cat.... Each type is treated independently of the rest, and may be studied separately.... It is strictly a laboratory guide, not a treatise on comparative anatomy.”—School R.
“Notwithstanding drawbacks, the work remains as a useful guide to those teachers who wish to arrange a course in comparative anatomy.”

“One might have wished that the author had omitted entirely the very incomplete, incorrect, antiquated, and obsolete outline of the classification of the vertebrates, for which, however, the author is responsible only in accepting Wiedersheim as an authority. The work itself, for which the author is responsible, is remarkably free from errors.” S. W. Williston.
