Abstract
THIS competent book of 128 pages provides a guide to recent discoveries in cytology. It describes the phenomena of mitosis and meiosis, considers chromosomes in relation to evolution and does not shrink from invading the realms of advanced cytological theory. The book contains a curious mixture of well-written, easily understood remarks on advanced work, combined with involved descriptions of more elementary material. This is probably due to the author's endeavour to cover as much of the ground as possible in a small book.
