Excerpt from The Structure of the Fowl Stated briefly, the primary object in view in the preparation of the following pages has been the production of a concise and not too elaborate account of naked-eye and micro scopic structure which, it is hoped, may be of use to those who have to deal with the fowl in health and disease. It is a truism that to the student of avian and comparative pathology a knowledge of normal structure is essential to the appreciation of changes resulting from disease. And it is admitted that the student of scientific agriculture should know something of the build of the various animal machines with which he is concerned. It is also hoped that the student of zoology and comparative anatomy may find herein a useful introduction to avian anatomy and em bryology.

Excerpt from The Structure and Classification of Birds It was the intention of my predecessor in the office of Prosector to the Zoological Society, the late Professor Garrod, F.R.S., to write a treatise upon bird anatomy. This intention was so far realised that a nearly complete account of the anatomy of the fowl, with the appropriate illustrations, was actually drawn up; it was proposed that this should be followed by a second part, in which the general anatomical characters of the different groups of birds were to be stated. Of this second part I have beside me some thirty sheets of MS. Professor Garrod's successor in the post of Prosector to the Zoological Society, the late Mr. W. A. Forbes, had every intention of finishing this work commenced; but unfortunately death took place before any actual additions had been made to the MS. left by his predecessor. I have, on the kind encouragement of Mr. Sclater, determined to make an attempt to carry out this plan of my two forerunners, and the present volume is the result. It must be admitted that a handbook upon bird anatomy was more wanted at the time that it was first conceived by Mr. Garrod than it is at the present day. Zoologists had then nothing of a general character save the incomplete fragment of Bronn's Thierreich and the sections devoted to bird anatomy in such comprehensive works as those of Meckel and Cuvier. We have now two treatises of first-rate merit, that of Furbringer and Dr. Gadow's completion of the section 'Aves' in Bronn's 'Thierreich.'

Excerpt from The Structure and Life of Birds The aim of this book is an ambitious one. It attempts to give good evidence of the development of birds from reptilian ancestors, to show what modifications in their anatomy have accompanied their advance to a more vigorous life, and, after ex: plaining, as far as possible, their physiology, to make clear the main principles of their noble accomplish ment, ight, the visible proof and expression of their high vitality. After this it deals, principally, with the subjects of colour and song, instinct and reason, migration, and the principles of classification, and.
