This is a collaborative treatise to which 32 different authors have contrib- 

 uted. It is conceived on a broad comparative-zoological basis and provides a 

 detailed account of the principal aspects of ovarian development, structure 

 and function. Volume I contains 13, and vol. II 14 chapters. Among these at 

 least ten are of more specific interest to embryologists. They deal with devel- 

 opment and structure of the ovary; with ovulation and ovarian activity 

 during gestation, egg transport and implantation; with the experimental em- 

 bryology of the ovary; and finally with the role of the developing ovary in sex 

 differentiation, in the development of the uro-genital tract and mammary 

 primordia, and in the development of secondary sexual characters. 



Each chapter is followed by an extensive list of references. Both volumes 

 are adequately illustrated and each is concluded 'by author and subject 

 indexes. The books are well-printed.
