Abstract
THIS is the seventh volume to appear in the collection of monographs on biological problems issued under the guidance of a technical committee comprising some of the best-known names in French biological science. The preceding volumes have, in the main, dealt with physico-chemical and embryological subjects, with the exception of Lapicque's important monograph on a subject which, like the volume under review, is more directly physiological. The author has collected together a considerable amount of data of a representative character and he has moulded it into an orderly review of the present state of knowledge with regard to these properties of the myocardium, while each chapter is rounded off with a useful summary. The book should make an appeal to students of physiology and also to medical practitioners, since the subject matter is concerned chiefly with the mammalian heart.
