Synopsis
Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Society of Victoria, Vol. 2
A bare enumeration of the authors, and the titles of their treatises, may recall the monotony of Homer's list of his. Heroes. I can only excuse myself by retorting that, in my Opinion, the workers of the Challenger are heroes, and that the great Zoological Reports constitute no mean epic.xx Proceedings Of the Royal Society of Victoria.
Wherever Opportunity offered, full anatomical details are given, as well as zoological characters. Indeed, it is hard to decide whether anatomists or systematists will be more helped by these publications. Embryological work is natur ally scanty, but Professor W. K. Parker was enabled to make out the development of a type Of Chelonia, which was previously but very imperfectly known. It is interesting to note that he refers to the Leathery Turtle (sphargis coriacea), which is occasionally to be met with in our Melbourne Fish Market, as the living form which best retains the indications of its ancestry.
