(1) Vertebrate Embryology Comprising the Early History of the Embryo and its Foetal Membranes (2) Problems of Life and Reproduction

Abstract

(1) DR JENKINSON'S “Vertebrate Embryology” will be welcomed by all students of that subject in this country. Hitherto the only book on embryology of convenient size and suitable for elementary students has been Bryce's volume in “Quain's Anatomy,” but this work is devoted almost exclusively to human embryology, and is avowedly intended for students of medicine rather than for those taking zoology for an honours degree in science. Dr. Jenkinson's book will not be without utility to the more advanced workers in the subject, including original investigators and teachers. To each chapter there is appended a short bibliography which affords a valuable guide to the literature.
