Abstract

-A review of theoretical research in a field of science, the immediate practical application of which is slight, offers little encouragement to the reviewer in times of war. Yet the situation is not quite as bad as it might seem,'for there has been one very fertile field of publication during the past few years which. offers ample material for a reviewer. Numerous textbooks, mono­ graphs, symposia, and handbooks in biology and medicine have appeared. To be sure, these are in themselves reviews, but 'they include much new and original work, especially in the realm of interpretation. Among them are the excellent collection of papers edited by Hoerr (1) and published in honor of Professor Bensley; the symposium on The Cell and Protoplasm held at Stanford Uni­ versity, and edited by Taylor (2); the stupendous work, entitled Medical Physics� edited by Glasser (3); the text by Pfeiffer (4) on experimental cytology; Guilliermond's (5) Cytoplasm of the Plant Cell; and the symposium on The Structure of Protoplasm, edited by Seifriz (6).
