Abstract
THE publication of this volume is to be regarded as an event in the progress of cytology. Prof. Doncaster's new book is not intended to serve as a text-book on cytology, though it contains a wealth of facts; but its aim is to interest the senior student in the subject by pointing out the way in which cytology is related to the great fundamental problems at the root of all biological research. Quite recently Paul Buchner, of Munich, published a new “Handbuch” of cytology, and it is with pride that we compare the work before us with its German prototype. A great deal of the material in Prof. Doncaster's book is new, and the work is as strictly up-to-date as is possible when one is dealing with a vast and changing subject such as cytology.
