I have made frequent reference to the following books Thompson's Outlines of Zoology, Marshall and Hurst's Practical Zoology, Claus and Sedgwick's T ext-book of Zoology, Leuckart's Human Parasites, Prantl and Vines' d104-book of Botany, and Parker's Elementary Biology. In addition to these I have referred to numerous papers by Professor Ray Lankester, Mr. W. E. Hoyle, Mr. F. E. Beddard, and many others. To all these authors I take this opportunity of expressing my grateful ac knowledgments. The sources from which the diagrams have been taken are in all cases mentioned. I wish especially to thank Messrs. Smith, Elder, 8: Co., and Mr. Pentland, for their kind permission to insert diagrams from books published by them. I have further to thank Mr. F. E. Beddard for numerous suggestions, and also for references to original papers, and Dr. Washbourne for his friendly criticism of the chapter on Bacteria.
