    PREFACE This is the first time that the Physiology of the Organs of Reproduction has been presented in a complete form, and many who desire to obtain more precise knowledge regarding the problems with which it deals, than is to be found in' text-books of Physiology, will welcome the appearance of Dr. Marshall's book. The importance of such knowledge to the community in general is now becoming recognised, and the interest which the subject awakens is no longer confined to members of the medical profession and to breeders of animals. Especially will the work furnish a much needed introduction to the science of Eugenics, whilst the multiplicity of facts which are set forth, and the manner in which questions of difficulty are discussed, will have the effect at once of satisfying and of stimulating inquiry in a most important, if hitherto somewhat neglected, branch of Physiology. E. A. SCHAFER. University, Edinburgh, June 1910.
