This work is intended for college and university students as an introduction to the theoretical and practical study ct Mology. It daccases broadly some of the leading principle of the science on the substantial basis of a thorough examination of two typical forms, a fern and an earthworm.

Bessey's Botany. ADVANCED Course.

By CHARLES E. BLSEY, Professor in the University of Nebraska. 14611 pp. 9.

This manual offers a general survey of vegetable life. adapted to higher collegiate work. The first 200 pages give a comprehensive account of the general anatomy and physiology of plants, proceeding from the simplest to the most complex in structure. Then comes classification, with a systematic examination, in some detail, of all the orders. The presentation of matter is such as to fit the book for constant use in the laboratory, the text supplying the outline sketch which the student is to fill in by the aid of scalpel and microscope.

Bessey's Essentials of Botany. BRIEFER Course.

xlii-+ 292 pp. 12mo.

A guide to beginners. Its principles are, that the true aim of botanical study is not so much to seek the family and proper names of specimens as to ascertain the laws of plantstructure and plant-life; that this can be done only by examining and dissecting the plants themselves; and that it is best to confine the attention to a few leading types, and to take up first the simpler and more easily understood forms, and afterwards those whose structure and functions are more complex. The work contains a chapter on the gross anatomy

Packard's Zoology. ADVANCED COURSE.

By A. S. PACKARD, Professor in Brown University. viii+722 pp. 8vo.

Designed for college classes, to be used either in the recitation-room or in the laboratory. It will serve as a guide to the student who, with a desire to get at first-hand a general knowledge of the structure of leading types of life, examines living animals, watches their movements and habits, and finally dissects them. He is presented first with the facts, and led to a thorough knowledge of a few typical forms, then taught to compare these with others, and finally led to the principles or inductions growing out of the facts.

Packard's Zoology. BRIEFER COURSE. viii+338 pp. 12mo.

The distinctive characteristic of this book is its use of the object method. The author would have the pupils first examine and roughly dissect a fish, in order to attain some notion of vertebrate structure as a basis of comparison. Beginning then with the lowest forms, he leads the pupil through the whole animal kingdom until man is reached. As each of its great divisions comes under observation, he gives detailed instructions for dissecting some one animal as a type of the class, and bases the study of other forms on this.

In scope this book differs considerably from those mentioned above. Since it is meant for young beginners, it describes but few types, mostly those of the higher orders, and discusses their relations to one another and to their surroundings. The aim, however, is the same with that of the others; namely, to make clear the general principles of the science, rather than to fill the pupil's mind with a mass of what may

Wale intelligible to the general reader, it is accurate and vfoenty minute in detalls to meet the requirements of students who are not making human anatomy and physiology subjects of special advanced study. Wherever it has veemed really profitable, hygienic topics have been discussed. The work is in se in such medical schools as those of Harvard University and the University of Michigan.

Martin's The Human Body. BRIEFER Course.

X1, + 377 pp. 12mo, With a chapter on Stimulants and Narcotics. A clear, accurate, and coherent statement of the ascertained facts of human physiology, so treated as to make this branch of natural science a source of discipline to the observing and reasoning faculties, and not merely a mass of detail useful to know, which the pupil is to learn by heart. So far as is practicable in an elementary treatise, the facts are exhibited as illustrations of, or deductions from, the doctrine of the Conservation of Energy and that of the Physiological Division of Labor. The discussions are supplemented by simple directions for demonstrating the fundamental truths of the science. Martin's The Human Body and the Effects of Narcotics. viii+ 399 PP. 12mo.

An edition of the foregoing book in which, at the solicitation of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union, the matter relating to narcotics has been rearranged and augmented. Martin's The Human Body. ELEMENTARY COURSE. vi + 261 pp. 12mo.

A simple and accurate outline of those broad facts concerning the structure and actions of the living human body which make clear the reasons, as regards health, for following or avoiding certain courses of conduct. The action on the
