Abstract
PROF. WILSON has earned the gratitude of teachers and students of biology by publishing his “Atlas of Fertilisation.” He has collected, on ten plates of a convenient size, a series of photographs illustrating the development of Toxopneustes, from the mature ovarian ovum until the formation of a sixteen-celled blastosphere. The photographs were made by Dr. Leaming, from sections prepared by Prof. Wilson; and they have been admirably printed from untouched negatives. Each figure is about three and a half inches in diameter, so that all details capable of photographic reproduction can be easily seen.
An Atlas of the Fertilisation and Karyokinesis of the Ovum.
By E. B. Wilson, with the co-operation of E. Learning. (New York and London: Macmillan, 1895.)
