Abstract
THIS is a book on the same general lines as Prof. T. H. Morgan's “Experimental Zoology.” The author points out how very slowly, and almost, as it were, reluctantly, evolutionists have become definitely experimental—partly because they were preoccupied with applying the evolution-formula as an interpretation and with following the suggestions it offered of further morphological or physiological research, and partly because biological experimentation is really very difficult. Nowadays, however, astiological experiments are being conducted in many laboratories, and there are several journals specially devoted to their publication. What the author has done is to supply us with a competent introduction to experimental transformism.
