The works of Francis Maitland Balfour, Volume 1 (of 4)
Francis Maitland Balfour was a Cambridge embryologist who died in a climbing accident in the Alps at the age of thirty, and his friends published his collected works as a memorial edition, edited by Michael Foster and Adam Sedgwick. This first volume gathers his separate scientific papers in order of publication, from an early note on the geology of the East Lothian coast to his studies of the development of the chick, the blastoderm and blood vessels, and his influential research on the embryology of elasmobranch fishes such as sharks and rays. It ends with his work on the anatomy and development of Peripatus. The papers trace the rapid growth of a career that shaped comparative embryology.
