Few scientific subjects are of such interest and practical value 

 in so many departments of college work as genetics or heredity, 

 and in practically no book previously published, has the subject 

 been so treated as to meet the requirements of the courses in the 

 various departments. Professor Walter's book is not only 

 suitable to courses on heredity, genetics or evolution, but also 

 to courses on breeding in general, or on plant and animal breed- 

 ing offered in the colleges of agriculture. It will be found in- 

 valuable as well, in first courses on biology, or on botany or 

 zoology, offered in the regular college curriculum. 



"I find that it is a very useful study for an introduction to the 

 subject. Professor Walter has certainly made one of the clearest 

 statements of the matters involved that I have seen and has 

 made a book which students will find very useful because he 

 keeps everything in such entirely simple and clear outlines and 

 at the same time he has brought the book up-to-date." 



PROFESSOR Looms of Amherst College. 



"Within the last generation the center of biological interest 

 has gradually been swinging from the origin of species to the 

 origin of the individual and recent literature in this field is 

 already very large. This fact has probably been one discourag- 

 ing to non-technical readers, who for the most part consider 

 themselves too busily engaged to study the subject. Heredity, 

 however, is a matter which concerns everyone, and it is cause 

 for gratification that Herbert Eugene Walter has summarized 

 for the uninitiated some of the more recent phases of questions 

 which are at present agitating the biological world."
