Abstract
THIS is a translation of Dr. Hatschek's well-known paper on the subject published twelve years ago. It will no doubt enable those who cannot read German tø follow Dr. Hatschek's statements. But unless the rest of the translation is more accurate than that of the title, readers will be deceived and disappointed. This book is not correctly called “Amphioxus and its Development.” That is a salesman's title. There is nothing in it about Amphioxus, except an account of the earlier part of the development. The important facts of the larval development discovered by Willey, as well as the adult structure, are not dealt with. The original plates have not been reproduced in this translation, but very small and often obscure reductions of them are substituted.
The Amphioxus and its Development.
Dr. B. Hatschek. Translated and edited by J. Tuckey. (London: Swan Sonnenschein and Co., 1893.)
