Its wealth of factual detail plus brilliant exposition and theory have made it an indispensable text and reference work for anatomists, medical students, morphologists, histologists, embryologists, students of evolution, zoologists, and every person interested in biology, no matter what his field of specialization. The skeleton, fins and limbs, head, Vascular respiratory excretory genital and nervous systems, and the subdivision of the body cavity, are covered from fish to the higher mammals... the entire study is characterized by the unity and meticulous attention to detail of one man thoroughly familiar with his subject."
