Abstract
THIS work has been prepared as a companion volume to the already published “General Science Physics” and “General Science Chemistry” by the same author. The text is largely based on the reports of the teaching of general science compiled by the Science Masters’ Association, and is intended to cover the biology section of the general science syllabus of the School Certificate examinations. The material is presented in quite an interesting manner, great prominence being given to experimental work. The inclusion of subjects which would involve the use of the microscope is questionable, although use might be made of them as demonstrations. There is an abundance of supplementary line-drawings, which possess a diagrammatic clarity and simplicity that might usefully serve as a model for pupils.
