Abstract
(1)Dr. ZUCKERMAN, whose previous volume on the “Social Life of Monkeys and Apes”(1932) was favourably received, has in this new work collected together the somewhat scattered knowledge relating to the ‘functional’ characteristics of the various types of primates, and considered its bearings upon the classification and phylogeny of the group. He deals among other things with the mechanisms of reproduction, blood reactions, the physiology of the sense-organs, and behaviour in relation to cortical differentiation.
