Abstract
THE Polish Institute for the Promotion of Science and Letters is publishing a “Handbook for Self-Education”(Poradnik dla Samoukow) under the general editorship of Prof. S. Michalski, and vol. JLO-(554 pages), dealing with histology, animal physiology, embryology and comparative animal psychology, has just been issued (Warszawa. Imienia Mianowskiego. 18 ztotys). This is the second section on zoology and contains contributions from Profs. Maziarski, Bialisewicz and Godlewski, whilst Miss Bohn-Drzewina's article on animal psychology, originally written in 1929, is very fittingly appended. The object of this publication is to guide students (and lecturers) in their reading and to direct attention to general principles, to the historical developments and especially to the literature of each branch of the subject. It is not intended to supplant any of the standard textbooks but to supplement them. It is noticeable that the authors are most familiar with German treatises on the various branches of zoology under consideration, but some French and, more rarely, English works are cited and listed in the bibliographies. The work will prove useful to those Polish students who, for any reason, do not enjoy close contact with their lecturers, and it has apparently been compiled with that object in mind.
