The introduction of chapters on Animal Anomalies, Animal
Regeneration, Biological Effects of Radiation, Marine Zoology, and Wildlife
Conservation is a slight departure from the usual textbook outline, but each of
these seems to the author to have enough of special value and current
interest to warrant presentation. The chapters on Regulatory Glands, Animal
Distribution, The Animal and Its Environment, Animal Parasitism, Comparative
Emhrijology, Animal Behavior, and Paleontology are also presented with the
feeling that they are of exceptional general interest to all students, as well as being
thoroughly zoological.

of Living Animals, Studies of Insects, The Connection between Structure and
