Abstract
THE first edition of this book, published in 1932, contained much useful data in the form of tables, diagrams and photographs, together with theories regarding chromosome behaviour. No serious student of cytology could ignore the book, which was a mine of information, and which sometimes annoyed and always stimulated the experienced worker. The second edition is not a mere reprinting of the first, but contains a great deal of extra material which will interest cytologists. Again we find tables, diagrams and illustrations, and signs of considerable assiduity by both the author and the publisher. So great are the additions of new material that the book is larger by more than a hundred pages, in spite of the fact that the large chapter on the “Evolution of Genetic Systems” has had to be omitted.
