...four young of the same sex, having a common set of embryonic membranes, strikingly similar in general configuration, all coming from a single egg. Thus they parallel as quadruplets the conditions of human identical twins. Exactly what causes the egg to divide is not definitely known. Dr. Horatio H. Newman, zoologist at the University of Chicago, has patiently pursued simpler species in the hope of finding a clue.

The reading is tested separately from the lecture material. It consists in considerable assignments of Darwin, Newman and others, but any one of these will cover the ground of the others. The lectures strike a certain percentage of the class as amusing. At the opening sessions there are considerable guffaws, but this soon wears off and you find yourself confronted by the awful reality of having to listen to Professor Hooton read from his little...
