Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh, Vol. 16: For the Promotion of Zoology and Other Branches of Natural History, 1904-1906 And so it comes to pass that there is a variety of snake in these Isles which does not grow to the size of the average adder, is of the same colour in the two sexes, and is very limited in its distribution, but which, because its scales happen to be arranged in the way authorities have decided is that of the adder, is likewise classed as Vipera berus, I refer to the small red viper. Even in its temper and disposition this snake is unlike the adder, a fact with which country folks, where the red viper occurs, are quite familiar with, but which systematists consider of no importance, if they are aware of it. Anyone who has seen specimens of the two reptiles together, is strongly tempted to think that those who are responsible for classing them as the same species never had a similar opportunity. But their scales are similarly arranged; that is quite sufficient. During the time I have been working on this subject, I have obtained several specimens of the small red viper, which are now in the University Zoology Museum, where the two reptiles can be compared. In the last five years I have taken or examined about five hundred British adders, but I have only seen four of these red vipers, a fact which in itself is strongly against them being of the same species. Their very rarity is the difficulty in investigating them; they have not been observed with their young, nor have they been known to pair with the common adder. So, as they conform to the adder scaling, adders they must be under present arrangements. What follows will, I think, show how extremely variable this scaling is, and to what extent its limits have to be stretched to include all adders within its range. G. A. Boulenger, the distinguished ophiologist of the British Museum, is the only person who has paid much attention to the variations of the adder in Great Britain. He has laid down the limits of scaling recorded, in the following paragraphs, which it is necessary to quote to show the great variation which obtains.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Royal Physical Society of Edinburgh, Vol. 15: For the Promotion of Zoology and Other Branches of Natural History; 1901 1904 Every student Of morphology realises that man possesses certain structural features more or less in common with all vertebrate animals, but which are specially akin to those characteristic of. Mammalia. N o intelligent perception of these structures is possible unless we recognise that they not only resemble each other, but are, in fact, homologous strue tures, whose apparent differences are due to a natural process of evolution Operating through environment, attitude, and habit. In this way we obtain different grades or phases in the evolution of any particular structure or group of struc tures. Hence there is a tendency to divide mankind into the higher and the lower races, on grounds which are prob ably more precise morphologically than they are psycho l'ogically. At any rate, there is no doubt that the lower races of men present many structural features which correlate them more nearly to the lower animals than is the case among the higher races of men.

Download or read book A Functional Biology of Scyphozoa written by M.N. Arai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scyphozoa have attracted the attention of many types of people. Naturalists watch their graceful locomotion. Fishermen may dread the swarms which can prevent fishing or eat larval fish. Bathers retreat from the water if they are stung. People from some Asiatic countries eat the medusae. Comparative physiologists examine them as possibly simple models for the functioning of various systems. This book integrates data from those and other investigations into a functional biology of scyphozoa. It will emphasize the wide range of adaptive responses possible in these morphologically relatively simple animals. The book will concentrate on the research of the last 35 years, partly because there has been a rapid expansion of knowledge during that period, and partly because much of the previous work was summarized by books published between 1961 and 1970. Bibliographies of papers on scyphozoa were included in Mayer (1910) and Kramp (1961). Taxonomic diagnoses are also included in those monographs, as well as in a monograph on the scyphomedusae of the USSR published by Naumov (Naumov, 1961). Most impor tantly, a genenttion of scyphozoan workers has used as its 'bible' the monograph by F.S.Russell (1970) The Medusae of the British Isles. In spite of its restrictive title, his book reviews most of the information on the biology of scyphozoa up to that date.
