Embryology and Evolution

Abstract

PROF. MACBRIDE, in his brilliant review (NATURE, Oct. 25, p. 639) of the recent embryological works by Dürken, Schleip, and Przibram, raises questions which are so fundamental in modern biology that I venture in all humility to interpose a word. Although I have not yet had the opportunity of reading these books, much of their work is already familiar ground, and Prof. MacBride’s clear exposition renders reference to the originals unnecessary so far as these general questions are concerned.
