HEREDITY. By J. Arthur Thompson, M.A., LL.D., Regius Professor
of Natural History in the University of Aberdeen. With numerous
Illustrations. 9s. _net_.

CONTENTS

Heredity and Inheritance: Defined and Illustrated--The Physical Basis
of Inheritance--Heredity and Variation--Common Modes of
Inheritance--Reversion and allied Phenomena--Telegony and other
Dispute Questions--The Transmission of Acquired Characters--Heredity
and Disease--Statistical Study of Inheritance--Experimental Study of
Inheritance--History of Theories of Heredity and Inheritance--Heredity
and Development--Heredity and Sex--Social Aspects of Biological
Results--Bibliography--Subject-Index to Bibliography--Index.

"We all know books of science which we ought to read with pleasure, but to which we turn with shrinking. Full, perhaps, of new facts and ideas, they are so expressed as to bore consumedly. 'Heredity' belongs to another category. He who runs may read, even if he be a beginner, and he who reads will probably not cease to run until he has traversed the last page."--_Nature_.

"This is certainly the best modern book on heredity to recommend to the student and the intelligently curious."--_Science Progress_.

"May be regarded as the standard work of reference on this subject. As a judicial summary of an exceedingly difficult and controversial subject it is masterly, while in the matter of clearness of exposition it has no rival."--_Knowledge_.

RECENT ADVANCES IN THE STUDY OF VARIATION, HEREDITY AND EVOLUTION.
By Robert H. Lock, M.A., sometime Fellow of Gonville and Caius
College, Cambridge, late Assistant-Director of the Royal Botanic
Gardens, Ceylon. With Portraits and other Illustrations. Revised by L.
Doncaster, D.Sc., F.R.S. With a Biographical Note by Bella Sidnay
Woolf (Mrs R. H. Lock). Crown 8vo.

MICROSCOPY. The Construction, Theory, and Use of the Microscope. By
Edmund J. Spitta, F.R.A.S., F.R.M.S., etc. With numerous Diagrams and
Illustrations. Second Edition. 12s. 6d. _net_.

"Let us hasten to urge every student of the microscope who wishes to gain a thorough understanding of its principles and possibilities and its defects, and every user of the instrument who desires a work of reference to which he may turn for an explanation of some unexplained optical phenomenon, or for particulars of up-to-date apparatus, to procure a copy of Mr Spitta's book without delay."--_Nature_.

CONVERGENCE IN EVOLUTION. By Arthur Willey, D.Sc. (Lond.); Hon. M.A.
(Cantab.); F.R.S. With Diagrams. Demy 8vo. 7s. 6d. _net_.

This work brings together some scattered facts of parallel development of outward form and internal structure in the Animal kingdom, introducing new cases and fresh interpretations. It is, taken as a whole, an original contribution to the theory of organic evolution, with special reference to the forms of Animal life.

THE HEREDITY OF ACQUIRED CHARACTERS IN PLANTS. An aspect of the true
Darwinism based on Personal Observations and Experiments. By the Rev.
Prof. George Henslow. With Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 6s. _net_.

A HANDBOOK OF PHYSIOLOGY. By W.D. Halliburton, M.D., F.R.S., Professor
of Physiology, King's College, London. Eleventh Edition, being the
Twenty-fourth of Kirkes'. With nearly Seven Hundred Illustrations,
including some Coloured Plates. Large Crown 8vo. 15s. _net_.

"One of the best manuals for the student which we possess ... the book is an eminently trustworthy one, and will prove a valuable foundation for, and introduction to, the large treatises on physiology."--_Lancet_.

THE BACTERIOLOGY OF MILK. By Harold Swithinbank, of the
Bacteriological Research Laboratory, Durham, and Sir George Newman,
M.D., F.R.S.E., D.P.H., Chief Medical Officer, Board of Education.
With Special Chapters also by Dr Newman on Spread of Disease by Milk
and the Control of the Milk Supply. With numerous Illustrations. Royal
8vo. 25s. _net_.

"Ought to find a place in the library of every medical officer of health and of every milk-producer. Scientific in method and lucid in exposition, the authors have given us a really invaluable text-book."--_Spectator_.

BACTERIOLOGY AND THE PUBLIC HEALTH. By Sir George Newman, M.D., F.R.S.
(Edin.), D.P.H., Chief Medical Officer, Board of Education. With
Illustrations. Medium 8vo. 21s. _net_.

"The present work, though nominally a third edition of 'Bacteria in Relation to the Economy of Nature, Industrial Processes, and the Public Health,' is virtually a new book, written with the object of supplying all that is necessary for the student of hygiene and the officer of health to know, so far as every-day problems of sanitation and preventive medicine demand.... Dr Newman has done a good work in producing a treatise which places at the service of the community what is known about all these topics."--_Daily Telegraph_.

THE RECENT DEVELOPMENT OF PHYSICAL SCIENCE. By W.C.D. Whetham, M.A.,
F.R.S. Illustrated. Large Crown 8vo. 5s. _net_.

The Philosophical Basis of Physical Science--The Liquefaction of Gases and the Absolute Zero of Temperature--Fusion and Solidification--The Problems of Solution--The Conduction of Electricity Through Gases--Radio-Activity--Atoms and AEther--Astro-Physics--Index.

THE REALM OF NATURE. An Outline of Physiography. By H.R. Mill, D.SC,
LL.D., Director of the British Rainfall Organisation. Second Edition.
Revised and entirely reset. With 19 coloured Maps and 73 Illustrations
in the text. Crown 8vo. 5s. _net_.

"Dr Mill is to be congratulated on having now brought his information, so far as space permitted, well up to date. The most striking features of the work are its comprehensiveness and conciseness.... It would, indeed, be difficult to point to any other English work on physiography giving so much trustworthy matter in equally condensed form, yet so readable."--_Athenaeum_.

NATURE AND ORIGIN OF FIORDS. By J.W. Gregory, D.Sc., F.R.S., Author of
"The Dead Heart of Australia." With Illustrations. Demy 8vo. 16s.
_net_.

Professor T.G. Bonney says in _Nature_, 12th Feb. 1914:--"But we must conclude, and do this by expressing our hearty thanks to him for this admirable history of fiords and other forms of inlets of the sea. It will be a great boon to students, for it is a veritable encyclopaedia, full of important facts."

MECHANISM, LIFE AND PERSONALITY. An Examination of the Mechanistic
Theory of Life and Mind. By J.S. Haldane, M.D., LL.D., F.R.S., Fellow
of New College and Reader in Physiology, University of Oxford. Crown
8vo. 2s. 6d. _net_.

"Dr Haldane has succeeded in packing an immense amount of knowledge and thought into the compass of a small volume. The complexity of his themes has never for a moment betrayed him into ambiguity either of thought or expression, and the pervading temptation to stray into bypaths, the failure to resist which makes the weakness of so much otherwise fine work of this class, has been most successfully resisted. The clarity of the book may fairly be described as remarkable."--_Sunday Times_.
