Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Amphioxus and the Ancestry, of the Vertebrates
This volume originated in a course of University lec tures prepared at my suggestion by the author. It seemed important that he should bring within the reach of students and of specialists among other groups, his own extensive observations upon Amphioxus and other remote ancestors of the Vertebrates, as well as the general litera ture upon this group. While our detailed knowledge of the structure and habits of these animals has been rapidly increasing in recent years, it is still in the main very widely scattered in monographs and special papers.
