1897] SOME NEW BOOKS 61 



nautical world, whether in the form of experiments, lectures, publica- 

 tions, magazine articles, inventions, or patents. 



La Eevista Nueva is an illustrated monthly, which commenced 

 publication at San Jose, Costa Eica, in September 1896. The directors 

 are E. Fernandez Guardia and Alberto Masterrer, and they have the 

 moral support of the Government. The price is 60 cents a number, 

 1 dol. 50 cents a quarter. For the most part the Eevista is devoted to 

 general and literary topics ; but we notice that the earlier numbers 

 contain a series of articles by Anastasio Alfaro on the antiquities and 

 the mammals of Costa Eica. Among the coloured plates are repre- 

 sentations of figured jars in the museum of Costa Eica. 



We have received the first two fascicules of Eevista Quindicinale 

 di Esicologia, Esicliiatria, Neuropatologia ad uso del Medici c dei 

 Giuristi, which is the expressive though cumbersome title of a fort- 

 nightly magazine, blessed with two directors, seven editors, and twenty- 

 nine collaborators. The chief editor is Dr Sante de Sanctis, E. Clinica 

 Psichiatrica, Via Penitenzieri, 13, Eome. The publishers are Fratelli 

 Capaccini, Via Sistina 22, Eome. Each fascicule, which consists of 

 16 pages, contains two original articles and several reviews. A year's 

 subscription (from May 1 in each year) is 6 lire. The Rcvista should 

 do much to produce healthy co-operation in Italy between the students 

 of pure psychology and their fellow-workers in criminal and patho- 

 logical psychology ; success seems guaranteed by the eminence of the 

 contributors.
