This volume focuses specifically on the study of Amphibia and Reptilia, delving into their anatomy, classification, and evolutionary significance within the phylum Vertebrata. The work is intended for both field-naturalists interested in the life histories and geographical distribution of these animals, as well as for morphologists keen on the detailed anatomical structures that define these fascinating groups. At the start of this volume, the author discusses the historical perception of Amphibia and Reptilia and the challenges of categorizing them within the broader scope of animal classification. Gadow addresses past misconceptions, particularly those from notable historical figures, and emphasizes the importance of a scientific approach to these creatures. He outlines the key characteristics that define the classes of Amphibia and Reptilia, contrasting them with more familiar animal classes like mammals, birds, and fish. The introduction sets the stage for a comprehensive exploration of their biological systems, life habits, and developmental stages, ensuring readers gain a detailed understanding of these often overlooked yet intriguing vertebrates.
