The following books will be found to deal in detail with some of the general questions in the foregoing pages:—

The Laws of Heredity. By G. Archdall Reid, M.B., F.R.S.E. (London. Methuen.) This great work should be read by all who are interested in the subject of Heredity and all the problems involved in it. It deals in an exhaustive and interesting manner with the characteristics of living beings, the method of development, the function of sex, the present evolution of man, and kindred topics.

The Greatest Life. By Gerald Leighton, M.D., F.R.S.E. (London. Duckworth.) This work deals with the development of character (as well as structures) from the biological point of view. The argument is that the whole of a man, mental, moral, spiritual, as well as what is usually termed physical, develops in accordance with biological laws.

Text-books on Physiology. Any of the standard books will be found to contain accounts of the early development of the embryo and its various tissues.
