"Initially, my intention was only to examine the skull in detail, but I was soon intrigued by the sensory organs of caecilians, particularly the so-called 'tentacle canal' and the nasal region. One thing led to another, and I was soon immersed in the study of the central nervous system and the skin. In short, the deeper I delved, the more pleasure and interest I derived from my subject, and finally I decided to write the complete anatomy of caecilians." [...]
In his present work, the comparative anatomist Robert Wiedersheim describes the anatomy of the Gymnophionae - the caecilians or blindworms.
This book is an unaltered reprint of the original 1879 edition.
