 by C. R. Austin Blackwell Scientific Publ. 



183 pp., 11 figs., 7 tbs. Oxford 



Price: 42 s. 



This monograph by one of the chief authorities in the field compiles all the 

 known data on the cytology of the mammalian egg, including its anomalies. 

 Particular attention is given to maturation, fertilization and cleavage. The 

 process of oogenesis is not treated. A brief introductory chapter deals with 

 general biology of eggs. A concluding chapter discusses the techniques of 

 manipulation of eggs (for microscopy, transfer techniques, in vitro techniques). 

 Two appendices present the most important literature on the latter two tech- 

 niques in tabular form. 



The book is profusely illustrated. There are several coloured plates. The 

 extensive bibliography serves at the same time as an author index. There are 

 subject and taxonomic indexes.
