Abstract
IN the rapidly-shifting condition of our knowledge of the development of all kinds of animals, it is a most difficult thing to produce a satisfactory treatise on Comparative Embryology. None the less such a work is much needed by our university students, and the little book which Dr. Packard has put together may be recommended to them as containing a great deal of the latest information on the subject, well illustrated by diagrams derived from a number of widely-scattered German, French, English, and American periodicals.
