Excerpt from Zoological Classification: A Handy Book of Reference With Tables of the Subkingdoms, Classes, Orders, of the Animal Kingdom, Their Characters and Lists of the Families and Principal Genera MY aim in the first edition of this work was to produce, as its title implies, a handy book of reference to the Classification of the Animal Kingdom, and to bring the contents of the various groups under the eye in the most concise and simple form. Beyond this some general notices were given, and the English names of the species, so far as they had any, and their scientific equivalents. No original remarks were attempted and no Opi nions expressed, excepting in the synoptical tables, and for them I claimed the indulgence of those who saw their way to a better selection of characters; as to the classification, it is useless not to expect to find differences of Opinion. In this edition the latest works have been consulted, especially those of Schmarda and Claus, which, as giving the most recent views of the German naturalists, have been repeatedly referred to. I have not thought it necessary to go into any details respecting divisions, subdivi sions, and so on, and their names, which specialists in so many instances delight to produce. Practically they are of little use, and serve chiefly as headings to their author's own pages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The remarkable and unique ways that male and female animals play out gender roles in nature While we joke that men are from Mars and women are from Venus, our gender differences can't compare to those of many other animals. For instance, the male garden spider spontaneously dies after mating with a female more than fifty times his size. And male blanket octopuses employ a copulatory arm longer than their own bodies to mate with females that outweigh them by four orders of magnitude. Why do these gender gulfs exist? Introducing readers to important discoveries in animal behavior and evolution, Odd Couples explores some of the most extraordinary sexual differences in the animal world. Daphne Fairbairn uncovers the unique and bizarre characteristics of these remarkable species and the special strategies they use to maximize reproductive success. Fairbairn also considers humans and explains that although we are keenly aware of our own sexual differences, they are unexceptional within the vast animal world. Looking at some of the most amazing creatures on the planet, Odd Couples sheds astonishing light on what it means to be male or female in the animal kingdom.
