(46s.) 2242 This text on the breeding of farm animals, first published in 1925, has been rendered up-to- date by the re-writing of large sections, and by descriptions of current breeding experiments with sheep and pigs at the Department of Animal Husbandry of the University of Min¬ nesota. The catalogue of lethal factors соф- piled by Lerner (1944) has been incorporated in the chapter on that subject. W. Rempel has contributed a chapter on selection and the effectiveness of selection, and J. N. Cummings i hasi contributed a chapter on artificial insemina¬ tion. It is a concise and stimulating introduc¬ tion to animal breeding suitable for students and owners of livestock.—R.M.
