Reader's note

This 1966 Pelican book is the second volume of Animals without Backbones by Ralph Buchsbaum. Much has been written to introduce the lay reader to the vertebrates, which have an exaggerated importance in our minds because they are closely related to man - and, like men, they usually manage to make themselves conspicuous. In actual numbers of species they compromise only about 5 percent of the animal kingdom. The two volumes of this book describe in readable style the life and habits of the other 95 percent amoebas (harmless and dysentery-producing kinds), sponges, corals, jellyfishes, all kinds of worms (from the dreaded hookworm to the useful earthworm), starfishes, insects, and a variety of others that pursue their divergent careers without benefit of backbone.
