LITERARY NOTICES.

Frederick J. H. Merrill to that subject. 

 The papers relate to the historic and eco- 

 nomic geology of the field. The first paper, 

 on the Post-Glacial History of the Valley, is 

 the result of several seasons' study by the 

 author. The papers on Brick Clays and the 

 Manufacture of Brick were prepared under 

 the author's direction by Mr. Heinrich Ries, 

 after a detailed investigation of the region 

 between Croton and Albany. 



A study of the Evolution of the Myth 

 of Satan is presented by Mr. William Henry 

 Hudson in a paper which was originally de- 

 livered as a Sunday evening lecture, on The 

 Satan of Theology and how we came by 

 him. The author finds that the Satan of 

 the Book of Job bears no resemblance to 

 the spirit of evil in our modern theology, 

 while the tempter, or serpent in the garden 

 of Eden, was not identified with Satan till 

 Persian influence had begun to operate. 

 The real origin of the theological devil is 

 then sought in the dualistic conception of 

 the Zoroastrian religion, which was trans- 

 planted into Judaism and has been built 

 upon till it has grown into the^ present ac- 

 cepted figure. 



Of two Addresses on Anatomy, reprinted 

 by the author, Dr. Harrison Allen, of the 

 University of Pennsylvania, for more con- 

 venience in reading, the first, On Compara- 

 tive Anatomy as a Part of the Medical Cur- 

 riculum, was delivered before the American 

 Association for the Advancement of Science, 

 at its Boston meeting, in 1880; and the 

 second, On the Teaching of Anatomy to Ad- 

 vanced Students, before the Association of 

 American Anatomists, at Washington, in 

 1S91. The second address outlines a plan 

 for a thorough fundamental course of in- 

 struction in the science, representing the 

 idea which the author has long cherished for 

 having medical biologists as systematically 

 trained as those who elect the more general 

 field of natural history.
