Abstract
THOSE desirous of keeping touch with the recent work of French biologists, but unable to consult the original memoirs, will find here useful epitomes of the results and views of some of the more prominent workers. The first chapter is devoted to Lacaze-Duthiers and the Roscoff laboratory. The subsequent chapters contain summaries (i.) of the work of Yves Delage and Bataillon on heredity, artificial fertilisation, etc.; (ii.) of Houssays experiments in dynamic morphology, in which those dealing with the shapes of fish are of especial interest (iii.) of the results achieved by Cuénot, Bohn, and Rene Quinton in their several fields of research; and on the botanical side (iv.) of Chauveauds work on plant development and transitory tissues; Molliards investigations of the structural effects of artificial nutrients, and of parasitism; and Matruchots cultivation of basidiomycete fungi from the spore to maturity.
