The Embryology Of Clepsine (1878) is a scientific book written by Charles Otis Whitman, which provides a detailed study of the embryonic development of the freshwater leech, Clepsine. The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of the embryology of the leech, including the early stages of development, the formation of the nervous system, the development of the digestive system, and the growth of the reproductive organs.Whitman’s research is based on a series of observations and experiments conducted over several years, during which he carefully observed and documented the development of Clepsine embryos. The book includes detailed illustrations and diagrams that help to illustrate the various stages of development, as well as descriptions of the processes involved in each stage.Overall, The Embryology Of Clepsine (1878) is a significant contribution to the field of embryology, providing valuable insights into the development of one of the most primitive organisms in the animal kingdom. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the study of embryonic development, as well as those interested in the natural history of leeches.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
