TO THE MEMORY
OF MY
LEARNED AND HONORED COLLEAGUE
THE LATE
EDWARD DRINKER COPE
This Little Volume is Dedicated
AS A SLIGHT TRIBUTE TO THE NAME
OF ONE OF AMERICA’S PROFOUNDEST PHILOSOPHERS, AND AS
AN EXPRESSION OF MY HIGH APPRECIATION OF HIS
VOLUMINOUS WORK IN BIOLOGY, AND OF THE
SINCERE EFFORT HE ONCE MADE
TO MAINTAIN THE PURITY OF THE RACE, OF
WHICH HE WAS SO DISTINGUISHED
A REPRESENTATIVE
