    EDITOR’S NOTE THE “Outlines of Biology” has been revised and sup- plemented so that it now completely covers the ground of the student working for the First Examination of the Conjoint Board of Surgeons and Physicians, London. In large measure it will also meet the requirements of students preparing for other examinations, such as the First Medical of London University and of Durham University. While the limits of the subjects dealt with have been largely determined by class needs, the treatment of the matter, it is hoped, has been adequately full for the purposes of elementary scientific teaching. Chapters II, XV, and XXII have been supplemented, while Chapters X, XI, XIV, XVI, XVII, XVIII, XXVI, XXVII, and XXVIII are new. The subject matters of Chapters XXVII and XXVIII were dealt with in past editions, but in this edition they have been entirely rewritten and amplified. Chapter XXIX has been recast and supplemented. The illustrations have been largely added to. All the half-tone plates and the text figures 31, 64, 65, 70, and 74 are new. Most class books of this kind lack any formal account of Histology. In this edition an attempt has been made to present the chief elementary facts '.in the histology of the fundamental tissues. The editor alone is answerable for any Mendelian inter- pretations which may occur in the pages of this new edition. He is also responsible for the few paragraphs here and there
