Grundriss der Entwickelungsgeschichte des Menschen u der höheren Thiere

Abstract

THIS book is essentially a reproduction of Prof. Kölliker's large treatise on Embryology, with a great part of the detail and controversial matter omitted, and is intended for the use of medical students. The larger work has more the character of a monograph on the development of birds and mammals than of a text-book; and as such, though of very great value to those engaged in teaching and research, is necessarily too bulky for the use of ordinary students. We think, therefore, that Prof. Kölliker has done very wisely in publishing the work before us; and we need hardly say that, his larger treatise having been already universally recognised as one of the most important contributions to embryology during recent years, the present work may safely be regarded as an accurate statement of the facts of avian and mammalian embryology. We may add that no trouble has been spared in the illustrations, which fully come up to the high standard characteristic of German works of this class.
