Abstract
THIS journal is mainly intended for the publication of the results of researches carried out by the teachers and students of the University of Bombay. It is to be issued six times in the year; the parts issued in January and July are to be devoted to history, economics and sociology, the part for March to biology, the part for September to the physical sciences and mathematics, and the parts for May and November to arts and law. We have received the biological part, dated March 1933, which contains thirteen papers, three on botanical subjects, seven on zoology, and others on the rabbit ovulation test for pregnancy, the characters of the Indian pelvis and the biophysics and biochemistry of the blood in tuberculosis. The zoological papers include descriptions of the vascular system of the sea-slug, Oncidium, the skeleton of the globe-fish, Tetrodon, the reproductive and excretory organs of Thalassema bombayensis, and of the history of the thymus of the plaice. This last investigation was carried out in the University of Liverpool, but the others represent work done in Bombay. The papers are illustrated by line drawings in the text and by plates. Several of the line drawings are somewhat crudely executed; but the fault in some cases is in the original drawings, though in others a smoother paper would probably be more suitable for clear reproduction of details. At the end of the part are abstracts of four M.Sc. theses in Bombay for the year 1931-32.
