An excellent survey of a subject which is ex- 

 tremely important to all biologists and a book 

 available for use as a supplementary text in 

 courses on Cellular Biology, Evolution, Heredity, 

 and Genetics. The term " Germ-Cell Cycle' is 

 meant to include all those phenomena con- 

 cerned with the origin and history of the germ 

 cells from one generation to the next generation. 

 Contrary to the usual custom, the period of 

 the germ-cell cycle which is emphasized in this 

 book is not the maturation of the germ cells, 

 but the segregation of the germ cells in the de- 

 veloping egg and the visible substances (keim- 

 bahn-determinants) concerned in this process. 

 While the author's treatment is technical, he has 

 presented the data available in such a clear 

 way as to make them intelligible to those who 

 have not been able to follow in detail the progress 

 of cytology during the past few years.
