Abstract
DR. BORRADAILE'S “Manual” is well known to all teachers of zoology, and, to judge from the frequency with which new editions appear, it must also be well appreciated by students. In these circumstances praise is superfluous and interest centres on the changes which the new edition shows. The most important of these are in the accounts of the movement of Amœba and of the relation of individuality to metabolic gradient, while the introductory chapter, the chapter on reproduction and sex, and that on the animal in the world, have been rewritten—and much improved.
