30. L'ORIGINE DE LA LIGNeE GERMINALE 



chez les Vertebres et chez quelques groupes d'Invertebres 

 1964 



Editor: Et. Wolff Hermann 



372 pp., 150 figs. Paris 



Price: 60 N.F. 



This book is the outcome of a series of seminars organised in the course of 

 1962 by Prof. Et. Wolff at the College de France, Paris. A number of Parisian 

 investigators as well as zoologists from other French and European centres 

 and one American specialist were invited to give lectures at the College de 

 France. All lecturers were outstanding specialists in the field. Between them 

 they have covered the topic more or less completely, particularly as far as the 

 vertebrates are concerned. The lectures are united in this volume, together 

 with the seminar discussions following them, in which the participants were 

 mainly Parisian scientists. 



The book is opened by a general lecture by P. Brien (Brussels) in which the 

 problem of the germ line in invertebrates is discussed in connection with both 

 sexual and asexual reproduction, and with regeneration and the question of 

 dedifferentiation. Then follow lectures on the germ line in various groups of 

 the animal kingdom: sponges, flatworms, arthropods, echinoderms, fishes, uro- 

 deles, anurans, birds, reptiles, and mammals. Two lectures deal with embryo- 

 mas and teratomas in mammals and the human, as related to the germ line 

 problem. The book is concluded by a lecture by Et. Wolff, in which he discusses 

 the continuity of the germ line, and the much-debated question of the induction 

 of stable heritable changes of the germ cells by the injection of DNA, proteins 

 and other substances. 



The book is printed in photo-offset. It contains numerous illustrations, of 

 which the photographs are not always reproduced satisfactorily. Alphabetical 

 and author indexes are lacking.
