Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On the Development of the Skeleton of the Tuatara, Sphenodon Punctatis: With Remarks on the Egg, on the Hatching, and on the Hatched Young
Certain it is that this subject, as it now stands, forms one of the most fascinating chapters in the vertebrate morphology of our time. Our own researches begin at the period of differentiation of actual skeletogenous tissue, and while, concerning the supposed original complexity and general uniformity in origin of the parts of the vertebral body, we retain an open mind, we question if, in matters of detail to be referred to in the sequel, theories, in their growth, have not been at times unconsciously read into the supposed record of facts.
