Abstract
WE gladly welcome another instalment of the long and great work, the “beautiful legacy,” as Bernard has called it, of the venerable French naturalist. At a time when the “differentiation” of study is carried to such an extent that many physiologists know very little about other animals than frogs, rabbits, dogs, and men, and many zoologists have a very meagre acquaintance with the results of experimental physiology, such a work as this, which skilfully weaves together all the main facts of animal biology, is most wholesome reading. The present part continues the discussion of the Reproductive Organs of the Invertebrata, and contains two lectures on the Development of the Embryo. We trust the distinguished author may be spared still to preside over and finally to witness the conclusion of this great work.
