Abstract
THE earlier editions of this very useful book were remarkable for the clarity and quality of the photomicrographs. They are still better in the third edition, and seven more have been added, while four “which were not considered satisfactory” have been replaced. This results in an even more useful volume. It serves alike as a readable introduction to myco-logical technique and literature, and a work of reference for the specific uses of mould fungi in industry. Time has but strengthened the high praise of an earlier review (Nature, 152, 173 ; 1943). The text has only been changed in detail, as war-time restrictions were still in force when it was revised. It must be left to subsequent editions to describe many of the interesting problems involving the activities of moulds which have arisen in various industries during the war years.
