    The Genetics of Bacteria and Their Viruses by W. Hayes f.r.s. 1964. 720 pages, 126 illustrations. 84s Dr Hayes has planned this volume as a fairly advanced textbook on the genetics of bacteria and bacteriophages. It covers the major advances which have been made in the field during the last few years, and their interpretation at the molecular level. The structure of the book is based on the requirements of an increasing number of postgraduate workers in related fields who desire to master the concepts of microbial genetics and molecular biology well enough to be able to apply them to their own problems, to comprehend original papers and to assess future developments with understanding. Congenital Abnormalities in Infancy edited by A.P. Norman m.b.e. m.d. f.r.c.p. 1963. 404 pages, 78 illustrations (4 colour). 63s 'The idea behind this book is an excellent one. It is to provide a practical guide for the doctor who works with newborn infants, which wiU enable him to recognize and deal with those congenital abnormalities that manifest themselves in the early weeks of life ... a well-presented, compact and readable book containing a remarkable amount of existing information not readily available elsewhere... a very useful book which should prove popular amongst paediatricians, obstetricians, and general practitioners.'—Archives of Disease in Childhood. The Pathology of Development A Study of Inherited Skeletal Disorders in Animals by Hans Grüneberg ph.d. m.d. d.sc. f.r.s. 1963. 324 pages, 169 illustrations. 70s 'Griineberg's approach is. .. appropriate even for those whose interests spring directly from clinical material, and his treatment shows that he has the non-geneti¬ cists and the non-embryologists very much in mind. АЦ readers will... be grateful for the clarity of his exposition and the directness of his comments. The book is unusually well and intelligently illustrated.'—British Medical Journal. Genetics and Ophthalmology by P.J. Waardenburg m.d., A. Franceschetti m.d. and D. Klein m.d. Volume 1: 1961. 1040 pages, 650 illustrations (60 colour plates). £15 Volume!: 1963. 936 pages, 551 illustrations (55 colour plates). £15 Volume 3: 1965. Price indefinite 'This, the first of three volumes to be devoted to the subject, is a quite remarkable and outstanding production. It is remarkable not only in the high quality of its production, including clinical illustrations and pedigrees, but in its all-embracing comprehensiveness, the vast range of the references quoted and, above all perhaps, for its suggestion of a new concept of understanding of ocular disease . . . this book, which should find a place in every reference library, will be invaluable in providing authoritative evidence of the status of any ophthalmological condition in relation to its established, presumptive or possible genetic causation.'—British Journal of Ophthalmology.
