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 soUcits the opinion of the staff of the Hubrecht 

 Laboratory or of other specialists. 



Dissertations, some research monographs, and other works of a very specialized 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 criteria: 



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



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 reprint- 



ings of papers by one author 

 Books of readings: containing reprintings of papers by various authors 

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