This volume begins with Ivan Good body's review - the first in this field - of work on the physiology of ascidians or sea squirts, among the commonest but, physiologically, one of the most obscure groups of marine animals. The second article - another first review in an almost completely neglected field - is by the late L. E. Mawdesley-Thomas and deals with pathological growths or neoplasia in marine animals from the few recorded in invertebrates to the more numerous cases in fish and marine mammals. It is hoped that this may stimulate further enquiry. Of recent year's shrimps, particularly the tropical penaeids, have become, economically, one of the most important groups of marine mammals. Makoto Omori here deals at length with all aspects of the biology of deep and mid-water shrimps, all of which constitute essential links in the economy of marine life. The processes of life are rhythmical and, in the last chapter, Alain Sournia cites instances of circadian periodicities in the populations of marine plant plankton, a matter of fundamental importance as this phytoplankton represents the great bulk of primary productivity in the sea.

The author of this monograph has been engaged in the study of animal rhythms for the past ten years, and is an internationally known authority on periodicities in the terrestrial arthropods.
In this book he has outlined the present state of knowledge of animal rhythms and provided a firm base for future research. Included are discussions on apparatus and techniques and the experimental methods adopted by workers in the field.
The earlier chapters outline the extent to which periodic phenomena permeate all aspects of zoological research-Sad discuss their ecological importance. In the later sections, consideration is given to the various physiological problems raised by rhythms and hypotheses are postulated concerning their ultimate nature.
As the first in this field, Professor Cloudsley Thompson's monograph fills a conspicuous gap by providing a comprehensive' synthesis of numerous ecological and physiological observations. It also includes a detailed survey of the literature. In addition to research workers in the field, this book will be of interest to ecologists, ethnologists, physiologists, and other scientists to whose research rhythms may be relevant.

It is the aim of this new serial publication to help biologists to keep abreast of knowledge in the different lines of research on the biology of marine organisms. It is intended that each volume shall contain comprehensive review articles summarizing the general position of our knowledge in individual fields. Attention will be given to recent advances in fisheries biology, the results of the research on which are often published in periodicals perhaps not normally available in the libraries of university biology departments. Volume 2 discusses the artificial propagation of marine fish, blood grouping of marine animals, the status of certain aspects of marine microbiology, and the methods of sampling the Benthos.

The ecologists today is faced with two major difficulties of communication, one fundamental to the science and the other concerning relations with his fellow men. The fundamental difficulty is that of combining a broad understanding of complicated ecosystems with an accurate account of detail. The second problem, of communication with a wider audience, is currently affected by public awareness of the human relevance of ecological problems. It is influenced by the demand for "relevant" ecological research and speedy answers to practical problems.
These are the primary justifications for a publication such as the present, and these same reasons provide the criteria for acceptable review articles. It is aimed to cover a wide field extending into borderlands with genetics, taxonomy, biometrics and many more.
Volume 8 includes four articles which readers may care to match against these rather high-sounding principals.
The first article on human ecology as an interdisciplinary concept: a critical inquiry is perhaps the first attempt to draw together the many different themes to which this much-abused title has been applied.
The second article about the studies on Cereal Ecosystem is remarkable for introducing a thorough ecological approach to ubiquitous.
The third article dealing with realistic models in population ecology extends horizons by applying a mathematician's understanding of the rather heterogeneous and often empirical approaches which together constitute conventional population dynamics.
In the last article concerning the populations cycles in small mammals, the authors provides some magnificent examples of the use in ecology of the planned field experiment as well as a wide-ranging review of the common properties and the differences between small mammal population cycles .
The reader is entitled to his own views on the relevance of these articles to his conception of what should constitute ecological science; it is our hope that they will all be seen to contribute in their different ways to the general purpose already outlined and, failing that, stimulate others to contribute their views on what is significant in ecology.

The aim of this Treatise on Comparative Biochemistry is to provide a sound, critical, and provocative summary of present knowledge in the field. Although comparative biochemistry is the most recent approach to the study of biology, its domain is vast because it seeks to compare the physicochemical properties of every form of life. In this sense it includes ail of biochemistry, not only those aspects common to life in general, but also the unique physicochemical manifestations which are characteristic of each of the several million species of living organisms comprising the phylogenetic scale.
Biological diversity is inherently as interesting to comparative biochemistry as biological unity. Furthermore, comparative biochemistry is concerned not only with contemporary life, but with life of all ages reaching back to origins; it views evolution in terms of molecular rather than morphological changes.
In order to provide a systematic comparison of the biochemical phenomena of life throughout the phylogenetic scale, which has been our objective, the Treatise has been organized in the following manner: Volumes I and II are primarily concerned with the biological transformations of free energy.
Volume I deals with the sources of biologically useful free energy, while Volume II describes how this free energy is utilized to support function. The structures of the principal classes of metabolites, their distributions, and the comparative enzymology of their biogenesis and metabolism are the subjects of Volumes III and IV. The comparative biochemistry of organized reactions Systems and the biological functions dependent upon these Systems are discussed in Volumes V and VI.
The present volumes, III and IV, are devoted to the principal classes of constituents of cells and organisms, their distribution, and the comparative enzymology of their biogenesis and metabolism. The comparison of structure and distribution, on the one hand, and metabolism, on the other, require different types of specialized knowledge; we have asked two different authors, when necessary, to describe these different aspects of the composition of living organisms.
In the main, organisms are made up of fatty acids and lipids, mono-and polysaccharides, amino acids and proteins, nucleotides and nucleic acids, and water. This is an aspect of biochemical unity to which, on earth at least, there appears to be no exception. It is logical to arrange the chapters in these volumes to emphasize this unity. There are also numbers of other structural classes of metabolic components which occur only in portions of the phylogenetic scale; these less usual components illustrate the diversity of life. A number of chapters in Volume IV are devoted to amino acids and proteins. Some of these chapters deal with special forms of adaptation of protein structure: keratin, sclerotized proteins, silk; or protein transformations during the coagulation of blood, or during amphibian metamorphosis. This group of chapters offers ample material for comparison in the field of the molecular biology of proteins.
The editors, although they have preferred to delay publication of individual volumes rather than have chapters appear out of their organized context, have been confronted with serious difficulties arising from the necessity of translating manuscripts written in languages other than English, and of insuring the publication of texts already received without too long a delay.
They have therefore decided not to postpone the printing of chapters already on hand. This somewhat upsets the original plan of organization which, nevertheless, continues to underlie the treatise as a whole. : ;
As in the case of previous volumes, the publishers have provided us with prompt, competent, and reliable assistance. We wish again to express our gratitude to them.
