Abstract
THIS brief account of the technique and results of the culture of tissues in vitro is to be commended to senior students of the biological subjects, as it presents the state of knowledge both of the growth and differentiation of the cell as well as a clear description of the role of the nutrient medium. The physiology of unorganised growth in epithelia and connective tissue is discussed with the same clarity as the organisation of embryonic tissues grown in cultures. The author is to be complimented on the avoidance of technical terms. A glossary, comprehensible even to the layman, is included.
