Abstract
AN excellent introduction to the comparative study of embryology, dealing mainly with Amphioxus, the frog, the chick, the pig, and man, with a concise but illuminating discussion of the embryological aspects of genetics, and useful technical instructions for making and staining serial sections of embryos. The fact that the book is illustrated by Miss Katharine Hill (Mrs. Paul) confers upon it its outstanding distinction. The figures are so clear and diagrammatic as to be self-explanatory.
