 in Centbl. Bdkt. u. Tar., 1. Alt., 21 (1897), No. 17-18, pp. 609, 700).

 189':, pp. 36-40).— A reprint from Bulletin 40 of the station (E. S. R., 8, p. 525). 



Investigations of hog diseases, R. R. Dinwiddie (Arkansas Sla. Bpt. 189$ 

 pp. 4:'-44).—A reprint from Bulletin 40 of the station (E. S. R., 8, p. 525). 



On the toxic properties of molds, R. R. Dinwiddie (Arkansas Sta. L'}>t. 189& 

 pp. 35, 36).— A reprint from Bulletin 40 of the station (E. S. R., 8, p. 524). 



Check list of the animal parasites of geese, A. Hassall ( U. S. D(pt. Ayr., Bureau 

 of Animal Industry Circ. 14,pp.5). — This listof the parasites of Anser anser domesiicm 

 is taken from the card catalogue of the zoological laboratory of the Bureau and con- 

 tains all of the species recorded up to the present time, so far as traceable by the author 

 in veterinary and zoological literature. Dates and synonyms are given and the place 

 of occurrence within the body noted. 



Parasites of domestic animals, G. McCarthy (North Carolina Sta. Upt. ism;, 

 pp. 101-142, figs. 33). — A reprint of Bulletin 127 of the station (E. S. R.. 8. p. 521). 



Parasites of poultry, G. McCarthy (North Carolina Sta. Upt. 1896, pp. 265-27% 

 figs 12). — A reprint of Bulletin 131 of the station (E. S. R., 9, p. 96). 



On the preservation of potatoes for culture purposes, M. Simmonds (Centbu 

 Bald. u. Par., 1. AM., U (1S97), No. 3, pp. 100, 101). 



The physiology of internal secretions, W. H. Howell (Science, n. ser., 6 (1897), 

 pp. 37-49). — The author gives a somewhat critical summary of literature relative 

 to the functions, etc., of the thyroids, parathyroids, the suprarenals, and of the 

 hypophysis. It is shown that excision of the thyroids is not fatal unless the parathy- 

 roids he taken along with them, and that excision of the parathyroids alone is fat; 1. 

 All the glands discussed are shown to excrete internally substances of some use to 

 the bodily economy. He notes that experiments of his own in which injections of 

 extracts of the glands of the hypophysis were made gave reactions similar to like 

 experiments with the suprarenals, and not. as has been given by others, similar to 

 injections of thyroids. 



Agglutination phenomena and the cholera vibrio, A. Taueelli Salimbein (Ann! 

 Inst. Pasteur, 11 (1897), pp. 277-286; abs.inJour. Hoy. Micros. Soc. {London], 1897, No. 3, 

 p. 242). — The agglutination is produced outside of the organism so far as the microbe 

 is concerned. It is not found in the subcutaneous tissue nor in the peritoneal sac 

 of actively or passively immunised animals. In rubes of serum and vibrios in vacuo 

 no agglutination occurred, while in tubes exposed to the air it occurred rapidly. 



Bacillus of Friedlander in tonsilitis and pharyngitis, W. C. C. Pakes ( Hritish 

 Med. ./our.. 1897, No. J. p. 715; ah*, in Jour. Boy. Micros. Soc. [London], 1897, No. 3. 

 p. 243). — The pneuniobacillns was found in 5 out of 500 cases of tonsilitis and 

 pharyngitis. 



Bacterium coli anindolicum and Bacterium coli anaerogenes, W. LembkI 

 (Arch. Hyg., 27 (1896), No. i; abs. in Centbl. Bakt. it. Par.,1. Abt.,21 (1897), No. 6-7, 

 pp. 281, 282; Jour. Boy. Micros. Soc [London], 1897, No. 3, pp. 243, 244). —These 

 were isolated from dogs' feces and in appearance and growth resemble Bacterium 

 coli commune They occur mostly in pairs. The first is motile and flagellated 

 and the second not. In bouillon the first gives with potassium nitrate and strong 

 sulphuric acid a red color capable of being extracted by amyl alcohol. It ferments 

 grapes and milk sugars, producing a gas and an acid. The second does the same 

 with the exception of producing no gas. 



Biological studies in Massachusetts, II, G. C. Whipple (Amcr. Nat., 31 (1897), 

 No. 367, pp. 576-582). — The results of the examination of some 40,000 samples of 

 water are given. Of vegetable organisms Diatomacce are found in largest numbers. 

 Following these come Cyanophy cea- and Chlorophycese. Infusoria about equal the
