Abstract
IN these two numbers the editor has reprinted the five papers from his pen on Peripatus which have appeared in the Quarterly Journal of Microscopical Science between 1885 and 1888. From the patient detail with which he has followed the developmental changes, and from the power of generalization from observation which he displays, this research may well be regarded as a model for those who are beginning embryological study. Memoirs such as these, on the other hand, are rarely distinguished for clearness of expression and lucid phrasing, and the one before us forms unfortunately no exception to the generality.
Studies from the Morphological Laboratory in the University of Cambridge.
Vol. IV.—Part 1. A Monograph of the Development of Peripatus capensis. Part 2. A Monograph of the Species and Distribution of the Genus Peripatus. By Adam Sedgwick. (London: 1888.)
