CAMBRIDGE BIOLOGICAL 



SERIES 



The Elements of Botany. By Sir Francis Darwin, Sc.D., 

 M.B., F.R.S., Fellow of Christ's College. Second edition. Crown 

 8vo. With 94 illustrations. 4s. 6d. 



Lancet. This volume contains the substance of the course of lectures 

 on botany given to medical students at Cambridge, and is as far as possible 

 meant to meet the requirements of the first examination for the M.B. degree 

 at that University. The plan of the book is to teach general principles and 

 illustrate them by suitable examples, those being chosen as far as possible 

 which fit in with the object of the book. In this way, the general principles 

 being learnt, the student can apply them to other examples which cannot 



be included in this work, and so further extend his knowledge The book 



is well printed, easy to read, and the diagrams are clear ; it should prove a 

 valuable work for those commencing the subject. 



Practical Physiology of Plants. By Sir Francis Darwin, 

 Sc.D., F.R.S., and E. Hamilton Acton, M.A. Third edition. 

 Crown 8vo. With 45 illustrations. \s. 6d. 



Nature. A volume of this kind was very much needed, and it is a 

 matter for congratulation that the work has fallen into the most competent 

 hands. There was nothing of the kind in English before, and the book 



will be of the greatest service to both teachers and students The thoroughly 



practical character of Messrs Darwin and Acton's book seems to us a great 

 merit ; every word in it is of direct use to the experimental worker, and to 

 him alone — The authors are much to be congratulated on their work, 

 which fills a serious gap in the botanical literature of this countrv. 



Morphology and Anthropology. By W. L. H. 



Duckworth, M.A., M.D., Fellow and Lecturer of Jesus College, 

 University Lecturer in Physical Anthropology. Demy 8vo. 



\_New edition in prepai'ation 



Lectures on the History of Physiology during the 



Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. By Sir M. Foster, 

 K.C.B., M.D., D.C.L. Demy 8vo. With a frontispiece, gs. 



Nature. There is no more fascinating chapter in the history of science 

 than that which deals with physiology, but a concise and at the same time 

 compendious account of the early history of the subject has never before 

 been presented to the English reader. Physiologists therefore owe a debt 

 of gratitude to Sir Michael Foster for supplying a want which was widely 

 felt.... No higher praise can be given to the book than to say that it is 

 worthy of the reputation of its author. 



The Soluble Ferments and Fermentation. By J. 



Reynolds Green, Sc.D., F. R.S. Second edition. Demy 8vo.
