Abstract
THESE two volumes belong to a series dealing with the problems of theoretical and applied genetics. (1) The first, by Dr. Stubbe, is a detailed account of spontaneous and induced mutations in animals and plants, but with the main emphasis on X-ray mutations. The results in this field are carefully analysed, and the methods used in such work are described, especially as regards dosage and length of exposure. The book will be useful for reference by all workers in this subject.
