Excerpt from The Microscope and Its Revelations, Vol. 1It has been the Author's object throughout, to guide the possessor of of a Microscope to the intelligent study of any department of Biology, which his individual tastes may lead him to follow-out, and his indi vidual circumstances may give him facilities for pursuing. And he has particularly aimed to show, under each head, how small is the amount of trustworthy knowledge already acquired, compand with that which remains to be attained by the zealous and persevering student. Being satisfied that there is a large quantity of valuable Microscope-power at present running to waste in this country, - applied in such desultory observations as are of no service whatever to Science, and of very little to the mind of the observer, - he will consider himself well rewarded for the pains he has bestowed on the production and revision of this Manual, ifit should be tend to direct this power to more systematic labors, in those fertile fields which only await the diligent cultivator to bear abun dant fruit.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Not illustrated. 1883 Excerpt: ...a large strong horny plate, against which the flat end of the tongue can work. On the other hand, the flattened portion of the palate of Buccinum (whelk) and its allies is used by these animals as a file, with which they bore holes through the shells of the Mollusks that serve as their prey; this they are enabled to effect by everting that part of the probosis-shaped mouth whose floor is formed by the flattened part of the tube, which is thus brought to the exterior, and by giving a kind of sawing-motion to the organ by means of the alternate action of two pairs of muscles,--a protractor, and a retractor,--which put-forth and draw-back a pair of cartilages whereon the tongue is supported, and also elevate and depress its teeth. Of the use of the long blind tubular part of the palate in these Gasteropods, however, scarcely any probable guess can be made; unless it be a sort of ' cavity of reserve,' from which a new toothed surface may be continually supplied as the old one is worn-away, somewhat as the front teeth of the Rodents are constantly being regenerated from the surface of the pulps which occupy their hollow conical bases, as fast as they are rubbed-down at their edges. 1 " Annals of Natural History," Ser. 2, Vol. x. (1852), p. 413. 579. The preparation of these Palates for the Microscope can, of course, be only accomplished by carefully dissecting them from their attachments within the head; and it will be also necessary to remove the membrane that forms the sheath of the tube, when this is thick enough to interfere with its transparence. The tube itself should be slit up with a pair of fine scissors through its entire length; and should be so opened out, that its expanded surface may be a continuation of that which forms the floor of the ...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
