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 solicits the opinion of the staff 

 of the Hubrecht Laboratory or of other specialists. 



Dissertations, research monographs, and other works of a spe- 

 cialized nature or written in languages not generally known are 

 provided with brief annotations. 



Various types of books are distinguished according to the 

 following criteria: 



Treatises: large comparative or systematic works 

 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 authors, 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
