Abstract
THIS is a handy and very useful work by two tremely competent authorities, and well worth translating into English for the benefit of medical men and others to whom the German language may present difficulties. The book is divided into three parts—(i.) Protozoa, (ii.) Helminthes, and (iii.) Arthropoda. Each of these sections begins with an introductory portion, in which, after a general account of the group, very full directions are given for its practical study, with an excellent summary of the most important and useful methods of technique. The group is then dealt with systematically, those forms most important for the purposes of the book being described in their place in the classification, and for each main subdivision a common and easily obtained type is described in detail with directions for procur-ing and studying it. The information given is in general accurate and up-to-date—the date, that is to say, of the German edition—and the figures are clear and well executed.
