L'Année Biologique

Abstract

THIS biological annual has improved with each year of its life, and its third volume, which deals with the literature for 1897, commands our admiration and gratitude. There is no denying that the bibliographic lists are fairly full, and that the summaries give the gist of the books and papers reported It fills what was otherwise more or less of a gap in our bibliographic resources, and every biological laboratory throughout the world should make it a point of honour to have the volumes upon the shelves for reference. Furthermore, the work is being so well done that all those who are busy over the general problems of biology should see to it, in their own interest, as well as in that of science, that copies and abstracts of their papers are sent to the editors.
