Book excerpt: Excerpt from Text-Book of the Embryology of Man and Mammals The rapidly increasing recognition of the importance of Embryology in all morphological studies makes it desirable that the most valuable text-books upon tho subject, in whatever language, be made available for those who are beginning its study. Although tho English-reading student already has at command a number of text-books upon this subject, it is evident to any one familiar with Hertwig's Lehrbuch der Enlwicklungegeschichlt des Menschen und der Wirbeltkiere that this work covers the field of Vertebrate Embryology in a more complete and satisfactory way than any book heretofore published in English. Two important objects to be accomplished in a text-book are: first, a clear and methodical exposition of the well-established facts of the science; and, secondly, such a presentation of unsettled questions as shall stimulate tho reader to further inquiry and research. I believe it is far too common for the second of these aims to be overlooked. Tho present work fulfills both requirements in an eminent degree, and in its historical surveys exhibits an exceptional fairness of treatment, notwithstanding tho author has been one of the foremost contestants in several of the fields reviewed. Tho summaries which follow the discussions of the several topics serve a useful purpose in directing attention to the more important conclusions drawn from each subject. I have aimed to give a clear and accurate reproduction of the author's ideas; while I have endeavored-not always successfully- to avoid awkward renderings and German idioms, I have preferred to err on tho side of a too literal rather than a too liberal translation. There are a few points that demand a brief explanation. The German word Anlage has heretofore been variously rendered into English by rudiment, origin, beginning, basis, foundation, etc., while some writers, recognising tho inadequacy of any of these words to express the idea, have incorporated tho German word itself in their English.
