Abstract
THOUGH British workers have made some of the most signal contributions to the morphological aspects of zoology, and names like those of Romanes, Bateson, Doncaster, and Geoffrey Smith will always be distinguished for pioneer discoveries in the experimental field, Great Britain at the present moment compares very unfavourably with other countries in facilities for the publication of researches in experimental biology, especially on the zoological side. There is no single journal devoted wholly or mainly to the subject, with the exception of the Journal of Genetics, which of course only covers a portion of the field. We have in Great Britain nothing to compare, for example, with the Journal of Experimental Zoology, the Biological Bulletin, and the Journal of General Physiology in America, or with the Archiv für Entwicklungsmechanik in Germany and the French Archives de morphologie expérimentale. Nor have we any biological journal which makes it a regular practice to publish articles of a general nature summarising and discussing critically recent additions to knowledge, as in the American Naturalist and the Referaten of several continental journals.
