Though, in the treatment of certain controversial points and in the interpretation and evaluation of certain of the publications there reviewed, I may be inclined to differ with Carmichael's presentation, it is an excellent summary to which those who might be interested in following an historical review in detail may refer. Not only does the study of fetal activity have an honorable past; it also has an exciting present. Investigations into the early fetal activities of mammals are now being carried on in at least six institutions:
