Abstract
DR. JULIAN HUXLEY writes : “Students of biological evolution will, I think, be interested to hear something about the new book by Dr. Bernhard Rensch, ‘Neure Probleme der Abstammungslehre', published by Ferdinand Enke Verlag, Stuttgart, 1947, which I have recently received and read. It appears to me to be a most valuable work, which treats of the method, and especially the course, of evolution, in a comprehensive way. Its most original feature is the number of tables it contains, giving quantitative expression to various rules of evolution. It is also interesting in that the author, though working in complete isolation during the War, has arrived at conclusions in general similar to those reached by American and British specialists in the subject during the same period.
