Vol. III also encompasses a description of Fish with particular emphasis on Whales, whereas Vol. IV, goes on to cover the Cartilaginous and Bony Fishes. Their structure, habits and physiology have been explained with examples, and illustrations. Vol.V embraces the amphibians like frogs, toads and Salawander and then treads over to Poisonous and Non-Poisonous snakes, among reptiles. This vol. also includes a detailed and interesting account of insects. The concluding volume of this set i.e. Vol.VI is a supplementary one, covering the description of rare and curious birds. This set, on the whole, provides an insight to the animal kingdom both Vertebrates as well as Invertebrates relevant to the students and teachers of Zoology alike.
