Excerpt from Embryology of TerebratulinaWith the great impulse given to the study of Zoology through the labors of Charles Darwin, renewed effort has been made to work up the embryology of those forms which have rendered so little satisfaction from the study of their mature characters, and thus through the labors of European naturalists new light has been thrown upon the develop mental history of Sagitta, Amphioxus, the Tunicates, and many other aberrant groups. And now while the embryology of nearly every prominent group has been more or less studied, and important relations revealed that would have otherwise been obscured, little or nothing has been done to throw any light on the embryology of the Brachiopods, a class represented by thousands of Species in past times, and one of which we have the earliest records in the rocks.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
