peripheral nerve terminations, (3) the spinal cord, (4) the cerebellum, (5) the 

 cerebral cortex, and (6) the retina. 



All the original figures of Cajal are included in the book. They are very 

 well reproduced. 



The translator has attempted to render the original text into current scientific 

 English. He has added an author and a subject index, and has also carefully 

 checked every single one of the more than 230 bibliographical references. 



The book is well printed and well bound. 



"CONTRIBUTION A L'eTUDE DU METABOLISME CELLULAIRE 

 AU MOYEN DE LA METHODE AUTORADIOGRAPHIQUE" 



1961 

 by A. Ficq Inst. Interuniv. des 



(Monographic no. 9) Sciences Nucleaires 



121 pp., 37 figs., 26 tbs., 7 graphs Bruxelles 



(paper-bound) 

 In this monograph the author, one of the collaborators of Prof. J. Brachet in 

 Brussels, reviews mainly her own research in the field of autoradiography as 

 related to protein metabolism, research carried out over a period of about ten 

 years. Although concerned with cellular metabolism in general, these results 

 are of interest to embryologists as well, since many of them concern developing 

 systems, such as oocytes and embryonic cells. 



The monograph is illustrated with graphs and a number of well-reproduced 

 photomicrographs. It contains a specialized bibliography of 8 pages, which is 

 entirely up-to-date. 



"CONGENITAL DEFORMITIES" 



1961 



by G. C. Gordon E. & S. Livingstone Ltd. 



128 pp., 113 figs. Edinburgh and London 



Price: 37 s. 6 d. 

 Although the title of this monograph might suggest a text book, this is not 

 the case. The book addresses itself almost exclusively to clinicians. Its core is 

 formed by a discussion of the aetiology of congenital deformities of the hip, 

 but other related deformities are also treated, against a general theoretical 

 background. The illustrations consist mainly of photographs, mostly X-ray 

 pictures. 



"GRUNDZOGE DER HISTOGENESE HoHERER PFLANZEN; 

 I. DIE ANGIOSPERMEN" 

 1960 

 by H. v. Guttenberg Gebr. Borntraeger 



(Handbuch der Pflanzenanatomie, Berlin 



Bd. VIII, Teil 3) Price: DM 110.— 



323 pp., 328 figs. 

 This book is a part of the second, revised edition of the "Encyclopedia of 

 plant anatomy", edited by V. Zimmerman and P. G. Ozenda. The book does 

 not deal with embryology in the strict sense, but restricts itself to a description 

 of the phenomena of primary histogenesis, mainly in the embryo (root, shoot 

 and leaves), but also in the later plant axis and leaf of Angiosperms. 



The description of histogenesis automatically leads to the description of
