BOOK NOTICES 



Most of these notices are descriptive rather than critical. Their main aim 

 is to provide an idea of the scope and potential usefulness of the books. 

 All notices (unless signed) are written by the editor; if necessary he so- 

 licits the opinion of the staff of the Hubrecht Laboratory or of other spe- 

 cialists. 



Dissertations, some research monographs, and other works of a very special- 

 ised nature or written in languages not generally known, are usually provided 

 with brief annotations only. 



Various types of books are distinguished according to the following cri- 

 teria: 



Treatises: large comparative or systematic works, incl. serial publications 

 Textbooks: incl. "readers", introductions, compendia, practical manuals, etc, 

 Monographs: incl. collections of reviews, essays, atlases, etc. 

 Dissertations: academic theses 



Symposium reports: incl. reports of congresses, conferences, meetings, etc. 

 Collections of papers: containing original research papers by various au- 

 thors, or reprintings of papers by one author 

 Books of readings: containing reprintings of papers by various authors 

 Reference works: incl. glossaries, data books, source books, etc.
