Book excerpt: Excerpt from Dictionary of Biological Equivalents: German-English The extreme specialization in biology, so characteristic to the present era, has increasingly narrowed the working sphere of the individual, while, parz' passu, demanding his acquaintance with many related sciences so that he may safely sound the depth of his own. To facilitate the necessary intelligent reading of foreign literature the compilation of this lexicon was undertaken; perhaps an imprudent task if one considers the many fields one must cover and the hours one must give to such an undertaking. There will be willful, also regrettable, omissions and, I trust, but few inaccuracies; yet, if you are lbetter informed in your own particular field, kindly correct the mistakes and let me know; else use this book as I do (h orace). It was necessary to keep the size and with it the price of the volume within certain limits. Therefore all words of Latin and Greek derivation have been omitted whenever the English equivalent would essentially have been only a repetition. Where such words have been used those beginning with Cd, Co and Cu, if not found under the letter C, should be looked for under K. Likewise, words of the same derivation beginning with Ka, K0 and Ku, if not found under K, should be looked for under 0. In numerous instances the lack of proper English words has made neces sary the explanation of the German term rather than a translation of it.
