The Development of the Vertebrate Skull
Open accessAbstract
IT is more than sixty years (1877) since the appearance of the first general text-book on “The Morphology of the Skull” by Parker and Bettany, a work excellent in its day but now out of date. The most important general work on the subject since then is the part on the development of the skeleton of the head contributed by E. Gaupp to Hertwig's well-known “Handbuch” (1906). It marked a great advance in our knowledge, more especially of the development of the cartilaginous framework of the skull and visceral arches. But a vast amount of work has been done since on the skull, and no one has made more important contributions than Dr. de Beer himself, whose series of detailed studies on the development of the head and skull in various vertebrates from cyclostome to mammal, published from 1922 onwards, form the basis for this fine monograph illustrated by 143 plates containing a vast number of figures most of which are the author's own.The Development of the Vertebrate SkullBy Dr. G. R. de Beer. Pp. xxiv + 552 + 143 plates. (Oxford: Clarendon Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1937.) 30s. net.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
