MANUAL FOR LABORATORY WORK IN

Mammalian

Physiology 'tBy FRED D'AMOUR and FRANK R. BLOOD

The Manual includes a group of 50 experi-ments in which the rat is used exclusively. Itprovides ample material for work in physiologyfor premedical students and physiology majors.Two hundred and fifteen large and amazingly

clear photographs illustrate, step by step, theinstructions for each experiment.Equipment required is all low cost-most of

it standard laboratory apparatus. Rats are

cheaper, hardier, and more easily obtainablethan other laboratory animals.The authors follow the customary sequence

of experiments: blood, heart and circulation,respiration, digestion and metabolism, excre-tion, nervous system, endocrine system, andantibody formation. This arrangement is flexi-ble enough, however, to allow adaptation toindividual course needs.Now available. $2.75

Designed especially for students of practical or geodeticastronomy, this well-known text has been revised to cover

a broader point of view than the earlier edition, and topresent new material, illustrations, and diagrams. Themeridian angle and azimuth angle are defined and used,simplifying the exposition. The concept of sidereal timeis presented, but is not employed for ordinary de-terminations of time, latitude, and azimuth.

THE method of rhythmical designpresented by Joseph Schillinger

links together on a mathematical basis thearts of music, literature and the space arts.In his method, Schillinger reveals the funda-mental mathematical laws of structure un-derlying plant and animal life, and the ap-plications thereof in the art forms of de-veloped cultures of the past. In my opinionhis achievement is a genuine and valuablecontribution to the study of esthetics and toart education. Because the laws which heformulates are mathematically fundamen-tal, Schillinger's method is applicable notonly in the analysis of existing works of artand of musical compositions, but offers adefinite and workable procedure for archi-tects, painters, composers, sculptors, anddesigners in the industrial fields."While in no way interfering with or

limiting the imagination and feeling of theartist, it replaces the 'trial and error'method with one that is logical, easy of ap-plication, and as precise and sound as thestructure of nature itself. "-Prof. C. J.Martin, Teachers College, Columbia Uni-versity"ESTHETIC realities, states the original

and intriguing mathematician, JosephSchillinger, are in no way discontinuouswith physical realities. Schillinger pos-sesses for his affirmations and propheciesa base in technology and artistic experience.Bertrand Russell announces the gospel andSchillinger designs and constructs the ma-chinery of its applications.''-Dr. HoraceM.

Small in size, but powerful in operation is the new Precision Mag-netic Stirrer. It will handle those one-hundred-and-one routinestirring jobs with ease and efficiency. The stirrer utilizes a rotatingmagnetic field to induce variable speed stirrer action. A per-manent Alnico V bar magnet is mounted on the shaft of a powerfulrheostat controlled, electric motor. A small plastic covered magnetis placed in the solution to be stirred. When the current is applied,the small magnet follows the large motor-driven magnet, and stirringtakes place.

An Aero Magnetic Stirrer, similar in design, construction andperformance to the electrically operated Magnetic Stirrer, is avail-able. This is recommended for use wherever explosive vapors orinflammable liquids are present.

Both stirrers operate under pressure, in a vacuum or in a closedsystem, and are supplied with 3 magnetized stirring bars and clampsupport. Further information on request.

ANIMAL COLOUR CHANGESAND THEIR NEUROHUMOURS

By George Howard ParkerEmeritus Professor of Zoology, Harvard University

We are pleased to announce the publication of this important survey of investigationsfrom 1910-1943 on animal colour changes. Dr. Parker's first chapter is a general intro-duction to the subject, and deals in orderly fashion with the several kinds of chromato-phores. Subsequently he discusses colour changes in cephalopods, crustaceans, vertebrates(four chapters), the development and growth of vertebrate chromatophores, and theirspecial activities.
