Abstract
THE remarkable development of biology in schools during the last decade has been accompanied by the inevitable spate of text-books which follow on the introduction of a new subject. The majority of the writers of these text-books have been stirred to produce works which would include cognate topics relating to the syllabuses of the various examining bodies. From the authors' points of view, it is a little unfortunate that the rapidity of the growth has been accompanied by the constant revision of examination syllabuses in biology, with the result that many of the books produced have quickly become unsuitable. Mr. Wheeler's book has been prepared to meet the demands of present-day students offering biology at higher school certificate, intermediate degree, pre-medical and allied examinations.
