It is almost needless for me to add that in fulfilling this sacred trust I have endeavoured to carry out his wishes, which were mainly three: (i) to enlarge the descriptions of the Preparations and accounts of the various classes of animals, and bring them to the standard of contemporary knowledge; (2) to add to each class or group a brief classification; and (3) to give as full a bibliography as space would permit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The World of Animal Life In this opening chapter we shall learn something about the Classification Of Animals; or, in other words, about the way in which animals are arranged by men of science. Now, perhaps you will think that this is a very dull and dry subject, and that it cannot be Of interest to those who know nothing about it. But in reality it is not dull at all. Indeed, it is almost as interesting to find out how different animals are related to one another, as it is to learn about their ways and habits; for in doing so we are led to examine their bodily frames, and to notice how wonderfully every part is suited to the life which the animals have to lead. Some of us may think that it cannot be necessary to know anything about this subject, and that anyone who is really fond of animals can study them quite well, without understanding their natural arrangement. But this, as we shall presently see, is a great mistake. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book Popular Natural History, Vol. 1 written by J. S. Kingsley and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-04 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Popular Natural History, Vol. 1: A Description of Animal Life, From the Lowest Forms Up to Man IT has been the endeavor, in the preparation of these volumes, to present a popular account of Animal Life; but while scientific techni calities have been carefully kept in the background, it is hoped that scientific accuracy has not been sacrificed in the operation. To some there may appear an inequality in treatment. This, in part at least, has been intentional. Insects and Birds have already an enormous popular literature, while the other forms have been more or less neg lected. Believing that these other animals have their points Of interest and claims upon our attention, they have been given a prominence poissibly greater than they deserve. Another feature in these pages has been the collection of bits of unnatural history from the pages of the older writers. These have of course no place in our present science, but they belong to the history of zoology, and as such, have no small value, aside from their interest as scientific curiosities. It is hardly necessary to call attention to the fact that there is another Side to the animal kingdom which is fully as interesting and attractive as that presented here. In the last twenty years zoology has taken a new departure and a new lease of life. NO longer are zoologists content with watching the habits of well-known animals, and imposing long Latin names on those which are new. Museums are no longer necessary for the better class of work. To-day the student is trying to solve deeper problems. He is finding out how all animals grow from the egg to the adult condition; he is tracing resemblances, rather than difierences, and showmg the. Essential unity of all life, however great the apparent differences. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Far from attempting anything in the way of an exhaustive or strictly scientific manual, they have only tried to provide those untrained in zoology with a means of identifying the principal of the innumerable forms of animal life which are likely to attract their attention when on the beach, or, better, on the rocks and beds of weeds uncovered by the great ebb tides which afford such grand opportunities in the western parts of the English Channel; and also of acquiring some notions concerning the often puzzling organs displayed by these creatures, their functions, as well as some of the most salient facts of their life-histories.

This book was released on 2017-05-14 with total page 492 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Evolution of Life, or Causes of Change in Animal Forms: A Study in Biology The great question of The Evolution of Life upon the earth, and the causes that have led to the successive changes in animal forms, is one that should be treated from an anatomical and a physiological point of view. Scientists have hitherto spoken of these changes that have taken place, and have concurred in the opinion that the lower forms of life have advanced in the scale of development, and in time have given rise to higher and newer forms. It is believed and generally accepted that the protoplasmic cell was the first vital organism that appeared upon the earth - that, following this in order came the protozoans, the fishes, the reptiles, the marsupials, the mammals, the higher apes, and finally man, but no attempt has ever been made, as far as I know, to explain the physiological causes of these changes in the anatomy of the animal kingdom. It is only a part of the truth to say that a reptile was evolved from a fish, a mammal from a reptile, and man from the higher apes. But this is not enough. The world is advancing to that point when it demands to know [1010 these changes took place, by what physi ological process they occurred, and what was the reason that induced them to change. It is this great point that I have endeavored to explain, - how far, and how well I have succeeded, I leave others to judge. If any thing is left unsaid or unexplained it may serve as a stimulus to future writers to finish the work I have planned out. I have written this work from a physi.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Zoology the Study of Animal Life The word zoology is derived from the Greek word zeon, which meant animal, and from the termination - logia, which signified a discourse. The name therefore, as might be ex pected, denotes the science of animals, and is therefore narrower in its scope than the science of biology, which deals with everything living and of which the science of zoology forms a subdivision. We see, therefore, that at the outset we are faced with two fundamental questions, viz. (1) What is life? And (2) What is an animal? To no two questions is it more difficult to give a precise answer than to these. If with Herbert Spencer we define life as the continuous adjustment of internal to external relations, who is the wiser, or who has any better conception of life as a result of the definition?

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Animal Life in Field and Garden N these talks that we shall have together, said Uncle Paul, as he sat with his nephews one eve ning in May under the big elder tree in the garden, I propose to designate as 'friends' those forms of animal life that, though not domesticated or cared for by us, nevertheless come to our aid by waging war on insects and various other devouring creatures which would in the end, unless their excessive multi plication were kept in restraint by others besides ourselves, eat up all our crops and lay waste our fields; and it is these ravagers Of the farmer's care fully tilled acres that I shall speak of as 'foes.' What can man's efforts avail against those voracious hordes, multiplying as they do every year to an extent beyond calculation?

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On Some Remarkable Forms of Animal Life: From the Great Deeps Off the Norwegian Coast Preface. Under the above title I purpose, if I can obtain the necessary assistance, to make known little by little the most important discoveries which I have had opportunity to make during my deep-sea investigations in recent years; and I shall consider it my duty first to treat those animal forms which my Father has already partially examined and designated. The present university-program comprises some of these belonging to 6 diiferent classes of animals, namely 2 Polyzoa, 2 Conchifera, 3 Cephalophores, 2 Annelids, 2 Corals and 3 Sponges. These animal forms had already been partially destined by my Father for more detailed notice in a university-program similar to that composed on the subject of the Rhizocrinus; and application for the requisite assistance was already sent in to the academical college, when his unexpected death put a sudden end to the important investigations which he had commenced. It is therefore with deep gratitude that I here acknowledge the kindness of the college, in confiding to me the elaboration and publishing of the intended program; and although I am well aware of my want of that thorough acquaintance with the invertebrate animals, and of that clear and precise method of treatment which always distinguished my Father's works, it is still a pleasure for me to have opportunity given for prosecuting to the best of my power those investigations, to which my Father devoted himself with so much zeal and perseverance, until the day of his death. Although, as above stated, the present program was intended to be published by my Father, still the necessary detailed investigations were scarcely more than commenced, for which reason also no manuscript had been compiled. I find however, among my late Fathers papers, notes on most of the animal forms mentioned in the following lines, and with respect to some of them also more complete descriptions, which have been of great help to me in the elaboration of the present program. I have also always quoted as conscienciously as possible my Father's more coherent remarks, which certainly will have their important value. Where this has taken place, I have always expressly remarked it in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
