It is aimed to compile a comprehensive account of current information on comparative structure and physiological outline required by a student in a single book containing condensation of available information.

For each organ system a general account is given followed by the comparative description of important Indian types from each class including. Branchiostoma, Scolidon, Labeo, Rana, Uromastio Columba dn Oryctolagus. It is hoped that this book will prove useful to students for the knowledge of basic vertebrate structure.
