Abstract
THE appearance of the second edition of this monograph reminds us of the great loss which science has suffered in the untimely death of Prof. A. R. Cushny. It is indeed fortunate that the book was almost ready at the time of his death, since it reflects the considered views of the author on the subject of the function of the kidneys in the light of the most recent researches in this province of physiology. The theory put forward in the first edition nine years ago has formed the starting-point of the majority of the researches carried out on the secretion of the urine during this period: that the work stimulated research is shown by the increase in the number of references from four hundred to six hundred.
