the rest unintelligible. The translation of "ebauche" by "out- 

 line", of "materiel" by "substance", and of "enchainement" by 

 "linkage" is unfortunate. 



The book is produced in the same format as its French original.

The general features of this volume are the same as those of 

 vol.1 (see review nr.40 above). Each organ system is traced back 

 to its earliest beginnings, thus providing links with vol.1. The 

 systems are treated in the following order: Skeleton and muscles; 

 Face and stomodaeum; Digestive system (with associated exocrine 

 and endocrine glands); Respiratory system; Urinary system; Geni- 

 tal system (primitive, male, female, sexual differentiation); 

 Circulatory system (including hematopoiesis ) ; Ectodermal deriva- . 

 tives (including anterior hypophysis). The most frequent congen- 

 ital malformations are clearly illustrated and briefly described. 

 There are timetables for the digestive system and cardiac devel- 

 opment, and a diagram showing the role of hormones in sexual dif- 

 ferentiation. Sexual anomalies of genetic and hormonal origin 

 are briefly described. 



The translation is difficult to judge because the original is 

 not available, but it seems adequate. On page 29 there is some 

 confusion over the contribution of the fourth pharyngeal pouch 

 to the thymus or thyroid. 



Vol. Ill will deal with the nervous system and sense organs 

 (morphology and function), neuroendocrine correlations, func- 

 tional development of the hypophysis, and the paraganglionic 

 system and adrenal gland.
