Abstract
ALTHOUGH it is impracticable to review, even V in the most general terms, the progress of zoology as a whole, it is perhaps possible to take stock of one particular branch of the subject and to discuss its contributions towards problems which are of some general scientific and human interest. To an increasing extent, experimental zoologists are borrowing the weapons of physical chemistry, and possibly the time has come to consider the general point of view which underlies this type of attack on zoological problems. What is our conception of the essential nature of the living organism—Do we believe that the activity of living matter and its potentiality for change can be expressed adequately in terms of physical units—Do we incline to the belief that living animals have been evolved from inanimate matter?
