PART I. 



EFFECT OF CHEMICAL AND PHYSICAL AGENTS UPON 



PROTOPLASM. 



8vo. Cloth. Price $2.60, net. 



It is intended to serve as an introduction and guide to the study and 

 development of the individual regarded as a complex of processes 

 rather than a mere succession of different forms. It brings together 

 under appropriate heads the published observations hitherto made on 

 the subject, laying special stress upon the results and methods of those 

 investigations which have a quantitative value. The central idea of the 

 work is that ontogeny is a series of reactions to chemical and physical 

 agents. This determines the scope of the work, and the division of 

 the effects of agents under the heads : I. Protoplasmic Movements ; 

 II. Growth; III. Cell Division; IV. Differentiation. 



The Contents of Part I., Protoplasmic Movements, are: — 

 Preface. 

 I. Action of Chemical Agents on Protoplasm. 

 II. Effect of Varying Moisture upon Protoplasm. 



III. Action of the Density of the Medium upon Protoplasm. 



IV. Action of Molar Agents upon Protoplasm. 

 V. Effect of Gravity upon Protoplasm. 



VI. Effect of Electricity upon Protoplasm. 

 VII. Effect of Light upon Protoplasm. 

 VIII. Action of Heat upon Protoplasm. 

 IX. General Considerations on the Effect of Chemical and Physical 

 Agents upon Protoplasm.
