Abstract
THE second part of Prof. Lotsy's book contains the substance of twenty-eight lectures, completing his course on evolution. Though making no claim to have broken new ground, the work is of real use. The presentation of contemporary knowledge of these subjects which it gives is comprehensive in scope and accurate in treatment. The author does not suffer from the delusion that in evolutionary science finality was reached fifty years ago, and it is a pleasure to see the results of modern research incorporated without ludicrous mistakes. This is probably the best text-book of the subject yet compiled.
