"It is sufficient to announce a work on the comparative anatomy of the Invertebrata by Mr. Owen. Were it necessary to recommend it, we should say, that the desideratum it supplies has been long felt by students of natural history; and that no writer of the present day except Mr. Owen could have ventured to approach the subject: his enlightened researches having made the delightful department of science in which he has created his brilliant reputation legitimately his own; and, indeed, organised into a system an interesting branch of knowledge in which he found only a few scattered and imperfectly known facts."-MEDICAL GAZETTE.
