[Essays in heredity and development of the animal organism] (In Dancin 

 and Modern 8cirnce. Cambridge, 1009, pp. 85-101, 102-111, 171-181,, 185-199, 

 247-270). — The following essays, written in commemoration of the centenary of 

 the birth of Charles Darwin and of the fiftieth anniversary of the publication 

 of The Origin of Species, are of interest to animal breeders as they summarize 

 the progress made in the study of heredity since the time of Darwin : Heredity 

 and Variation in Modern Lights, by W. Bateson ; The Minute Structure of 

 Cells in Relation to Heredity, by E. Strasburger; The Influence of Darwin on 

 the Study of Animal Embryology, by A. Sedgwick; the Palaeontological Record,

 book consists of centennial addresses in honor of Charles Darwin before the 

 American Association for the Advancement of Science, Baltimore, January, 1909. 

 The following essays are of special interest to students of animal heredity : 

 The Cell in Relation to Heredity and Evolution, by E. B. Wilson ; The Behavior 

 of Unit Characters in Heredity, by W. E. Castle; Mutation, by C. B. Daven- 

 ix)rt ; Adaptation, by C. H. Eigenmann ; and Darwin and Paleontology, by H. F.

The cell as the unit of life, A. Macfadyen, edited by R. T. Hewlett {Lon- 

 don, 1908, pp. XV 1+381, pi. 1, figs, i^).— These lectures, delivered at the Royal 

 Institution, London, 1S99-1902, serve as an introduction to biology. They con- 

 tain a summary of information on the chemistry of the living cell, with special 

 reference to the action of cellular enzyms and toxins in the work of digestion, 

 assimilation, and immunity to disease. 



On the homologies and significance of the internal glands of the ovary, 

 P. BouiN and P. Ancel {Compt. Rend. Soc. Biol. [I'aris], 67 {1909), No. 31, pp. 

 464-466). — The authors find that in man, primates, dog, horse, cow, pig, and 

 other mammals with spontaneous ovulation there are 2 kinds of corpus luteum. 

 There is no interstitial gland, but its place is' supplied by the periodic corpus 

 luteum. In the rabbit, guinea pig, mouse, cat, and other mammals with non- 

 spontaneous ovulation the interstitial gland is present and only one corjius 

 luteum.
