Abstract
IN the first part of this serial work, just issued, the authors—Dr. F. Sommer and Dr. L. Landois, Professors in the University of Greifswald — confine their attention to the structure of the sexually mature joints or segments of Bothriocephalus latus, With excellent judgment they record the results of their own investigations in the first twenty-six pages, the remainder of the brochure being devoted to a critical comparison of the writings of other helminthologists from the time of Eschricht down to the latest period. This method, as they remark (s. 27), not only preserves the continuity of the record of a great number of frequently repeated observations and statements, but it also has the advantage of enabling their readers to discriminate between the results obtained by themselves and those acquired by earlier and equally independent observers.
