Abstract

(1) THIS is an excellent book to place in the hands of intermediate students of zoology; it gives a clear and interesting account of the more general aspects of embryological science. If the hypercritical reader regards it as somewhat scrappy and superficial, it must be answered that this is unavoidable in a book of its size dealing with so large a subject. The book does not pose as a work of reference; its function rather appears to be to give the student an idea of the present-day point of view of biologists towards the various problems of which it treats, to arouse his interest, and to direct his steps towards the fuller expositions to be found in contemporary literature.
