Abstract
IN recasting his excellent text-book of vertebrate embryology for a third edition, Prof. Waldo Shumway has incorporated much new material, especially summarising the results of recent experimental research, but has maintained the lucidity and suggestiveness of the previous editions. In its new form, the book is an admirable introduction to cytology and genetics and a clear exposition of the new work on organisation, which has recently acquired fresh distinction by the award of the Nobel prize to Prof. Spemann.
