Old Bones: Or Notes For Young Naturalists, On Vertebrate Animals, Their Fossil Predecessors And Allies is a book written by William Samuel Symonds in 1864. The book is aimed at young people who are interested in natural history and provides a comprehensive guide to vertebrate animals, their fossil predecessors, and their allies. The book is divided into several sections, each of which focuses on a different group of animals, such as fish, reptiles, birds, and mammals. Symonds discusses the anatomy, behavior, and classification of each group, along with their evolutionary history and the fossils that have been discovered. The book is illustrated with numerous black and white drawings and diagrams, which help to clarify the text and provide visual aids for young readers. Symonds also includes a glossary of scientific terms and a list of further reading for those who wish to explore the subject in more depth. Overall, Old Bones is a fascinating and informative book that provides a wealth of information on vertebrate animals and their evolution. It is an excellent resource for young people who are interested in natural history and a valuable addition to any library.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
