Excerpt from Biological Lectures and Addresses, Delivered by the Late Arthur Milnes Marshall

The majority of the lectures and addresses collected in this volume already been printed in the Transactions of several Societies - viz., the lecture on Animal Pedigrees, published in the Midland Naturalist, the Presidential address to the Biological Section of the British Association, and several reprinted from the Transactions of the Manchester Microscopical Society. Of these printed addresses I have reproduced as many as possible without involving too much repetition. In the case of the British Association address however it will be found that many of the points discussed are dealt with in other addresses, especially in the lecture on Animal Pedigrees, which is indeed based on that address. It appeared however desirable to include the British Association address, even at the risk of repetition, on account of the importance of its scientific value, and for this reason I have placed it at the end of the series, the others being arranged chronologically.
