The Mycetozoa. By the Rt. Hon. Sir Edward Fry and Agnes 

 Fry, pp. viii and 82 ; 22 figures in text. London : " Know- 

 ledge" Ofiice. Price Is. 



This Uttle work is well worth eai^ful consideration. The 

 authors, very properly, refuse to assert dogmatically that these 

 highly interesting organisms belong to one or other kingdom, and 

 prefer, at present, to refer them to neither. For our own part, 

 we do not see why they should not be both animal and plant, 

 at different stages of their life's cycle, however paradoxical this 

 may appear to a rigid formalist. In any case the problems 

 concerned are treated in a philosophical spirit and suggestive 

 manner. With this book, and Mr. Lister's excellent British 

 Museum "Guide" (price 3c?.) the microscopical observer will 

 possess sufficient information to enable him to fruitfully prosecute 

 the study of this most fascinating group. G. C. K.
