Abstract
THERE are being published in Germany just now a number of important works of a biological nature, in which eminent investigators are collaborating to produce a more or less exhaustive presentment of their special branches of knowledge. The fasciculi are published at short intervals as they are ready, and not necessarily in the sequence in which they will ultimately be bound together. The present work is the latest example of this method of publication, and the growing science of comparative physiology is receiving its due share of attention. The editor, Prof. Hans Winterstein, has an ambitious programme before him, and hopes to complete the work in four volumes. The list of selected collaborators contains the names of some of the best known of modern investigators; the majority of these are Germans, but the names of Fredericq, of Liége, Carlson, of Chicago, Tigerstedt, of Helsingfors, Bottazzi, of Naples, and Godlewski, of Cracow, also occur upon the title-page.
