The plates illustrating the book are of very unequal merit, some of the 
photographs being utterly worthless ( e.g. Pis. Ill, IV, X) ; but most of the 
coloured figures are well reproduced, e. ,h. 
Smallwood, W. M. (1913). A Text-book of Biology. London : Baillibre, Tindall & 
Cox, 8, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden. 285 pp., 13 pis. and 243 illustra¬ 
tions. 24 x 16 cm. Cloth. 
The author of this book is Professor of Comparative Anatomy in Syracuse 
University and has charge of the Department of Forest Zoology in the New 
York State College of Forestry at Syracuse. Professor Smallwood therefore 
writes with the authority of an investigator and teacher familiar with the 
wants of the student. His plan of study for the commencing student is based 
upon the historical development of biological science which is briefly outlined 
* in the preface. Chapters I—IX deal with the organism as a whole, the 
structure and functions of the organs, tissues and cells. Chapters X and XI 
deal with the biology of cells, of bacteria, yeasts and moulds, and Chapters 
XII—XVIII with Vermes, Arthropods, plants, biological adaptation, biological 
factors in disease, evolution, variation and heredity, animal behaviour and its 
relation to mind. A Glossary and Index conclude the volume. The illustra¬ 
tions are mostly borrowed but good judgment has been used in their selection. 
The book presents an excellent appearance and should well serve the purpose 
for which it is destined by the author, sr.
