Abstract
THE first edition of Dr. Feldman's book appeared in 1923 and filled a serious gap in mathematical literature. It has now been out of print for some years, and a new edition is to be warmly welcomed, there being still no other book covering the same field. The new edition has been extensively revised and many errors have been eliminated. New chapters, on nomography and on the estimation of errors, have been added. The chapter on biometry has been enlarged, and now forms perhaps the best introduction to this important subject for the biologist with only a small knowledge of mathematics.
