 R. Rankin, Carluke) On the structure and habits of the Slow- worm (Anguis fra- 

 gilis.) Proceedings of Societies — Among the Proceedings we find that of the 

 British Association for 1856 ; and Professor Goodsir's Papers are given as revised 

 by the author. 1. On the Morphological relations of the nervous system in the 

 Aunulose and Vertebrate types of organization. 2. On the Morphological consti- 

 tution of the skeleton of the Vertebrate Head. 3. On the Morphological constitu- 

 tion of Limbs. In the first of these Papers, Professor Goodsir denominates a 

 segmented animal, whether Anuulose or Vertebrate, an Entomosome ; to the con- 

 stituent segments, with their diverging appendages, he applies the term Somatome ; 

 and as the constituent somatomes are invariably arranged in groups, in each of 

 which they are more or less modified in form or fused together, he finds Syssoma- 

 tome a convenient designation for such a group— for instance, atypical Crustacean 

 presents a cephalic, a thoracic, and a caudal syssomatome, in each of which there 

 are seven somatomes, twenty -one in all. Scientific Intelligence, &c.
