Rudnick, Dorothea (Ed.), 1957. "Developmental Cytology," The Ronaia 

 Press, New York, N.Y., 9 papers, 215 pp. 

 This symposium is primarily concerned with structure and function of 

 various kinds of cells, especially in relation to problems of differentiation. 

 All of the papers are of more or less equal interest to the general student 

 of cytology, but attention may be drawn to two papers on chromosome 

 variations within animals and plants and a paper on changes in the fine 

 structure of cell organelles. 



Schrader, F., 1953. "Mitosis," 2nd ed., Columbia University Press, New 



York, N.Y., 170 pp. 



The reader will find here an excellent critical review of the numerous 

 mechanically based hypotheses of chromosome movements involved in 

 orientation on a metaphase plate, and poleward movement at anaphase. 

 The impression will be gained that a purely mechanistic approach will not 

 lead to solutions to these problems, but there is also a caution that chem- 

 istry divorced from morphological considerations will not serve much 

 better.

A number of articles have appeared in this magazine in recent years which 

 the beginning student in cytology will find both interesting and informa- 

 tive. Those selected by the authors as especially pertinent to the cytological 

 field are as follows:
