Abstract
(1) THE first edition of the book by Dr. Joos appeared in 1932 and was favourably noticed in NATURE, 131, 221; 1933. The English edition now before us shows every sign of having been prepared with great care, and is written in clear and straightforward language, which is unfortunately more than can be said for many translations from the German. Only minor alterations and corrections have, apparently, been made in preparing the English version. We can congratulate Dr. Freeman on his very satisfactory performance of a task which we are glad to see accomplished.
