The first edition of this elementary textbook of embryology, written for the 

 use of undergraduates in zoology and medicine, appeared in 1963 and was 

 reviewed in the Supplement to the tenth issue of General Embryological In- 

 formation Service (1964, p. 21-22). The present edition was revised and extend- 

 ed, and changes suggested by users of the first edition were incorporated. Never- 

 theless, the basic plan of the book has remained the same. The section on the 

 organogenesis of the eye was completely rewritten. Sections on the organogen- 

 esis of the skin and the nasal organ were added. 



New is also the inclusion of a limited number of references, mostly to books; 

 together they constitute a suitable list of further reading. The appendix on 

 sources of material was extended by a section on the zebra fish, and there is a 

 new appendix listing films recommended for the teaching of embryology. 



The number of text figures was increased from 40 to 49, and the number of 

 photographic plates from 8 to 15. 



13 EMBRYOLOGY 



1966 



By M. B. L. Craigmyle Bailliere, Tindall & 



"Concise Medical Textbook" Series Cassell Ltd. - London 



208 pp., d>6 figs., 5 tbs. Price: $ 6.50 



This short book was written for the use of medical students. It provides the 

 essential minimum of facts of human embryology, without literature references 

 and discussions of controversial points; the organization of the subject matter is 

 unconventional but convenient. 



Each of the later chapters contains a brief listing of the major developmental 

 abnormalities in the organ system concerned. A special feature worth mentioning 

 is the attention given to immunological competence in relation to the lymphatic 

 sysem. 



The illustrations are for the most part clear but highly schematical line
