Abstract
THE death of Prof. M. Nencki at the comparatively early age of fifty-four was a great blow to science. He attained a world-wide reputation as an investigator of the first order, and his laboratory at St. Petersburg became a busy hive of earnest workers, all fired with the enthusiasm and thoroughness of their master. The most fitting monument for such a man is the collection of his works presented to us in the two volumes which form the subject of this review. The labour of love in preparing this book for the press has fallen upon two of his most attached colleagues, namely, Nadine Sieber and Prof. J. Zaleski, and they have chosen the German language as that in which to publish his collected memoirs. They have written an account of his life in the introductory pages, but have wisely chosen to make this brief; his work was his real life, and this is. allowed to speak for itself.
