Excerpt from Synoptic Key to the Phyla, Classes, and Orders of Animals: With Particular Reference to Fresh-Water and Terrestrial Forms of the Moist Temperate Region in North America
The key is based on a compilation made over fifteen years ago by Professor V. E. Shelford, who has kindly consented to its publication. The content has been much changed; the form recast; and the references brought up to date by the present compiler, who takes entire responsibility for the: accuracy of this version. I wish here to express my thanks to the many Students and laboratory assistants who have called attention to errors in the mimeographed copies; to all authors who have contributed knowingly or otherwise; and particularly to Professor H. S. Pratt for permission to use largely from his Manual of Common I nverte brates. I am sorry that his forthcoming Manual of Vertebrates is not yet available.
