THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. 



" The Journal of Mycology," Vol. I, No. 

 1, January, 1885. W. A. Kellerman, 

 Ph. D., J. 13. Ellis, and B. M. Everhart, 

 editors. Manhattan, Kansas. Monthly. 

 Pp. 16. Price, $1 a year; single num- 

 bers 16 cents. 



The " Journal " is devoted exclusively to 

 mycological botany, and, while giving spe- 

 cial attention to descriptions of North 

 American species of fungi, will publish ac- 

 counts of the current literature pertaining 

 to the subject. The present number con- 

 tains original descriptions of twelve new 

 fungi from Kansas and fifteen from Iowa, 

 with notices of " North American Gcasters," 

 and of other fungi of Kansas. 



Notes on the Progress of Mineralogy in 

 1884. By H. Cartill Lewis. Phila- 

 delphia : 



Professor Lewis is in the habit of pre- 

 paring, as chief in that editorial depart- 

 ment, monthly summaries for " The Ameri- 

 can Naturalist," of the discoveries and new 

 ideas in mineralogy. The present pamphlet 

 is the collection of all of these summaries 

 that appeared during 1884, and presumably 

 includes all that occurred worthy of special 

 notice, in mineralogical research, during the 

 year. 



Mind in Medicine. By Rev. Cyru.s A. Bar- 

 tol, D. D. New York : M. M. llolbrook. 

 Pp. 39. Price, 25 cents. 



This pamphlet embodies the substance 

 of two sermons preached by the author on 

 successive Sundays extolling the value of a 

 sound mind as an element of health, and 

 the virtue of mental remedies for disease. 

 " Bodily strength, fresh color in the cheeks, 

 more alert steps, and cheerier tones," says 

 he, " are revelations of mind shining through 

 the body. . . . You sail for Porto Rique ! 

 Well, a person not airy, but atmospheric, 

 may be a warmer climate, relieving your 

 ailments better than that island, or Men- 

 tone, Pau, or St. Augustine." 



"Babyhood," December, 1884. Leroy M. 



Yale, M. D., and Marion Harland, 



Editors. 18 Spruce Street, New York. 



Pp. 32. Price, 15 cents a number ; $1.50 



a year. 



" Babyhood " is devoted exclusively to 

 the care of infants and young children, and 

 the general interests of the nursery. Its 



purpose is to become a medium for the dis- 

 semination of the best thought of the time 

 on all subjects connected with the needs of 

 the child, embracing in its scope the period 

 from the day of birth to the age when the 

 nursery is supplanted by the school-room. 

 There is certainly a place for such a maga- 

 zine.
