Abstract
FIRST published in 1924 this text-book has now passed into its third edition, a fact which testifies to its usefulness. The book has been thoroughly revised and an additional chapter on insects, with Periplaneta americana chosen as the type, has been included. The revision has been well carried out on the whole, and this has involved some of the illustrations as well as the text, but it is a pity that the account of mitosis was not more completely rewritten and not simply left as the traditional account with a note that it requires modification in the light of recent observations.
