Outlines of Evolutionary Biology. By Arthur Deady, D.Sc., F.R.S. (Constable

and Co. 12s. 6d. net.)—In this volume Professor Dondy has succeeded in producing an enthrallingly interesting book for the student who is bent on advancing along those long-stretching avenues down which he must travel before he can add even an iota to the sum of scientific knowledge. Professor Dendy is indeed to be congratu- lated upon so readable, so lucid, and at the same time so profound an exposition of his subject. The illustrations, it may be noted, are numerous and exceedingly clear and adequate.
