Abstract
THE author of the present volume has long been distinguished for his investigations in vertebrate embryology and the physiology of vertebrate reproduction. He has also paid considerable attention to the practical aspects of the subject, in so far as they concern the methods adopted by the animal breeder and the needs of the breeding industry. In the light of the special knowledge and experience which he has thus gained, Mr. Heape has become firmly convinced that the breeder will derive “inestimable advantage from the right application of science to the industry with which he is concerned,” while it is no less his strong belief “that the field of scientific biology will be broadened, the number of workers therein increased, and the means available for their work augmented, as the result of.... more intimate relations between scientific and practical biologists.” Those who read this volume, and all others who are familiar with the nature of the questions discussed therein, can have little difficulty in realising that Mr. Heape is right.
The Breeding Industry.
