Abstract
THE present volume, like all its predecessors, is replete with interest and full of testimony to the activity and good work of the Whitman School. It contains the reports of sixteen lectures, of which as many as four are for the first time botanical; and although among the zoological writers we miss the names of Whitman and one or two of the most tried among his earlier collaborateurs, the effects of their teaching and example are all evident. More especially is this the case with the lectures by C. M. Child on “The Significance of the Spiral Type of Cleavage,” and by E. Thorndike on “Instinct,” in which certain of Whitman's most famous conclusions receive support.
