"The Cambridge Natural History, Vol. 02 (of 10)" by Frank E. Beddard et al. is a scholarly work from the turn of the century that investigates the natural world. It dives into the world of flatworms and mesozoa, exploring how these animals are categorized, their internal structure, and how they live in their environments. The book studies the phylum Platyhelminthes, or flatworms, defining them by their physical traits and the different places they live. It then divides flatworms into three types: Turbellaria, Trematoda, and Cestoda. The book starts by describing a specific type of flatworm, the Polyclad "Leptoplana tremellaris," explaining what it looks like, how it moves, what it eats, how it reproduces, and its place in nature. It is a comprehensive guide for serious students of animals and nature.
