{"product_id":"2940148824367","title":"Earthworms and their Allies (Illustrated)","description":"Author Preface:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehe importance of earthworms in questions relating to geographical distribution is so universally admitted that it seemed to me convenient to embody in a short volume the principal facts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt became necessary in order to accomplish this task in an adequate fashion to preface the distributional facts with some anatomical and zoological data. I have reduced this section of the book to a minimum and I trust that the illustrations will enable the reader, who is not specially acquainted with the structure of these animals, to obtain an idea of their general features and variability in external character and internal anatomy. While the use of technical terms is inevitable in presenting such details, it will be found, I think, that a reference to the figures will render them intelligible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003evi Since this volume mainly deals with the phenomena of distribution, I have included in my survey nearly all of the usually admitted genera of worms, particularly of the terrestrial forms, which are in the light of our present knowledge the more important in considering this subject.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eF.
