E. BRUMPT. Précis de Parasitologie

Sixth Edition revised, Two Vol., p. xii plus 2138; Figures, 4 Plates, 2 in color, Paris, France. Masson et Cie, Editeurs, 1949. Brochés, 6,700 fr., Cartonnés, 7,700 fr.

The sixth edition of the Précis de Parasitologie, appearing in two volumes, is an encyclopedic documentation of parasitologic information reflecting the broad experience of this well-known French parasitologist. The text, introduced by 87 pages of a general discussion of host-parasite interrelations, is divided into two main sections: (1) the animal parasites in which are included the spirochetes, protozoa, rickettsiae, and metazoa, and (2) the plant parasites, a section unique in this work, emphasizing the fungi. The index and table of contents appear at the end of the second volume.

To revise a treatise of such wide scope requires many months of arduous labor with the result that there may be a considerable lag between the latest references cited and the actual time of publication. In an attempt to minimize this lag the author has included up-to-date information in a special section appended to the second volume.

One cannot describe a uniform method of presentation for the emphasis varies considerably from topic to topic.
