A one-volume popular zoology by W. S. Dallas, published in London by Charles Griffin about 1860, organising the animal kingdom from lowest to highest forms for general readers and students. The wood engravings isolate anatomical details—bird heads with bristled gapes and feathered throats, a clawed foot, a crustacean seen from below—in fine hatching against blank ground, useful as cut-out diagram elements.
