摘要：Anyone who has faced the disheartening problem of digging up bibliographical references in the field of tissue culture will be grateful to the compilers for this monumental work. The problem of searching for bibliographical references is perhaps more complicated in the field of tissue culture than in many others, probably because the technique has been used by workers originally trained in so many widely scattered disciplines. As a result, publications dealing with tissue culture have appeared in a great variety of scientific journals, some of which are not even generally indexed. Moreover, the titles, necessarily brief, often fail to do justice to the contents, particularly since an author may slant the wording of the title to emphasize certain features which will interest workers in a special discipline while neglecting others which are perhaps of more general importance. The varied scientific background of experimentalists using this technique also tends to make for confusing differences in terminology. The bibliography is particularly welcome because it largely resolves these difficulties.
