First published in 1930 by Christophers, Ltdi COMPLETELY REVISED SECOND EDITION IQ4O REPRINTED IQ42 REPRINTED IQ45 COMPLETE CONFORMITY WITH THE AUTHORIZED ECONOMY STANDARDS ALL RIGHTS RESERVED PRINTED IN GREAT BRITAIN in n-Point Imprint Type BY UNWIN BROTHERS LIMITED WOKING PREFACE TO SECOND EDITION PRINCIPLES OF ANIMAL BIOLOGY was pub-- lished first in 1930. It was based on the plan of elemen tary instruction adopted in the University of Cape Town during the authors tenure of the chair of zoology. Its object was not then, and is not now, to supplant the many excellent dissecting manuals available for use in the labora tory. It aims at supplementing laboratory work with a general introduction based on evolutionary principles with emphasis on function throughout. While the original plan remains, each chapter has been extensively revised or, where necessary, entirely rewritten. The chapter in which the Vertebrate skeleton is used to illustrate the principles of geological succession by reference to the fossil record has been recast to take advantage of the many new discoveries which have been made during the past ten years. The author is greatly indebted to Dr. Westoll, Lecturer in Palaeontology in the University of Aberdeen, for advice and information, especially with reference to the design of new illustrations. All the illustrations in the previous edition have been redrawn by Mr. Horrabin, and many new ones have been added or substituted. To help students to practise methodical methods of memorizing essential facts new tabular matter has been introduced in various places. Dr. H. Waring who saw the new edition through the press is responsible for many valuable suggestions.
