Abstract
DR. GRÜ NEBERG‘S new book covers some of the same ground as his well-known monograph on the "Genetics of the Mouse". But the genetic facts he brings forward, although drawn from a narrower field than might be expected from his title, relate to the rodents as a whole rather than to the mouse in particular. His volume provides, in a simple and readable form, the most complete available summary of our knowledge of inherited pathological conditions in this whole group, and will be, for that reason alone, extremely welcome to genetical workers in other fields. As in his previous book, it is a particularly valuable feature that he describes not merely the final adult form of the abnormality, but also as much as is known of its developmental antecedents.
