Abstract
THE first edition of Borradaile appeared in 1912 and the second only in 1918. The slow start was no doubt due to the first World War; it is interesting to compare the book's record in the second. At some time in 1939 there was a second impression of the ninth edition, then came the tenth edition in 1941, its second impression in 1943, and now the eleventh edition in 1945. One wonders how many students this very valuable book has helped through the bewilderment of their first contact with zoological facts and ideas, and how many professional zoologists it has extricated from class-room and other difficulties. The publishers do not announce their sales, but they must now be very many thousands. A Manual of Elementary Zoology By Dr. L. A. Borradaile. (Oxford Medical Publications.) Eleventh edition. Pp. xiii + 813. (London, New York and Toronto: Oxford University Press, 1945.) 24s. net.
