Abstract
COPIES of Prof. Dalcq's book, written in the early part of the War, have only recently become available in Britain. The delay is regrettable, but not very serious, since experimental embryology, like so much of pure biology, was in a state of suspended animation during the war years. Dalcq's work, though four years old by now, has not been left behind by the advance of the subject, and is still very adequate to fulfil the two needs of biologists to-day: to enable them to pick up the threads again by providing a rather full account of the state of affairs as it was when the War broke out, and to point to suggestive lines for future development.
