grouped in four sections, dealing respectively with anatomy and histology (4); 

 cyto-, histo-, and neurochemistry (5); neurophysiology (9); and electrophysio- 

 logy (6). Concluding remarks are contributed by Th. Rabinowicz, D. Richter, 

 and J. Scherrer. The papers in French have English summaries, while all dis- 

 cussion contributions by French-speaking participants are followed by a 

 condensed English translation. 



The book is well-printed and adequately illustrated. It has a very brief subject 

 index, but no author index.

This is the report of an all-Czech Symposium held in May 1966 in Brno, under 

 the auspices of the Czechoslovak Biological Society. The participants were bac- 

 teriologists, plant physiologists, enbryologists, and pathologists. 



The more than 50 brief papers, many of them occupying one page or less, are 

 grouped into three sessions, entitled respectively: "Gene control of cell dif- 

 ferentiation" (17 papers), "Differentiation of cell structures" (17 papers), and 

 "Control of differentiation in multicellular organisms" (18 papers). The Session 

 chairmen were J. Soska, O. Necas, and F. Sladecek. All papers are in English 

 and have brief bibliographies.
