We have reproduced on our front page a plate (Tafel 2) found in KUNST FORMEN der NATUR by ERNST HAECKEL (1899 -1901). This work by Professor Haeckel has one hundred plates in execution, similar to the one reproduced by us. It is, indeed, a joyful experience to study these illustrations. In doing so, good use can be made of its descriptive supplement where pages 48 to 51 are especially helpful. The call number on KUNST FORMEN der NATUR is in the John Crerar Library, Chicago:-L745 H11, Vol. 1, Vol. 2, and supplement.
