Abstract
IN this volume is published the series of lectures on the Silliman Foundation recently given by Prof. Morgan. We are not told when the lectures were delivered, but as the book appeared only during the present year, we may take it as representing the latest pronouncement of the American school of geneticists on these matters. In the first chapter is given a formal statement of the theory of the gene, and in view of the fact that some misconception of what it implies is not infrequently to be found among biologists who have not specially studied genetics, it may be as well to reproduce it here.
The Theory of the Gene.
By Prof. Thomas Hunt Morgan. (Yale University: Mrs. Hepsa Ely Silliman Memorial Lectures.) Pp. xvi + 343. (New Haven, Conn.: Yale University Press; London: Oxford University Press, 1926.) 18s. net.
