Abstract
IN "Tempo and Mode in Evolution" G. G. Simpson has done for palæontology what Ernst Mayr, in his "Systematics and the Origin of Species", did for taxonomy—he has reviewed the facts of his special branch of biology in the light of modern genetics. The result is an interesting and significant contribution to the synthesis now occurring in the general field of evolution.
