A note on various pasteurelloses observed in Turkey, M. Nicolle {Ann. 

 Inst. Pasteur, 16 {190J), Xo. 10, 2>1'- 77d-77S). — Brief notes are given on pneumonia 

 of goats, fowl cholera, and the forms of pasteurelloses observed in ralibits, guinea

Animal parasites, A. A. Bkowx {.Tour. Dept. Agr. Victoria, 1 {190^}, Xos. 4, pp- 

 409-412; 5, pp. 522-524, pi- 1; 6, pp. 613-615, p)ls. 5; 7, pp. 698-700, pA. i).— Notes 

 are given on the life history and injuries due to infestation with Ttcnia echinococcus, 

 T. solium, T. exjiansa, and tapeworms of the horse, cat, fowls, and man. The author 

 discusses the alternation of generations in these w"orms, with special reference to the 

 transmission of the immature form to the definite host. Suggestions are also made 

 regarding the use of vermifuges for expelling the adult tapeworm from the intestines 

 and also with regard to preventive measures to be adopted in checking the distribu- 

 tion of the species concerned. 



AGRICULTURAL ENGINEERING. 



Eng-ineering" for land drainage, C. G. Elliott {Xerc York: John Wiley A Sons; 

 London: ('luipman tt Hall, Ltd., 1903, pp. VII+23£, pis. 6, figs. 41).— Thla is "a 

 manual for laying out and constructing drains for the imjirovement of agricultural 

 lands," in which the purpose of the author has been "to emjihasize and make clear 

 those points which the student, the busy agriculturist, and the practical engineer 

 should knoAv. ... It puts the experience and i>ractice of years into a form which 

 will be available to others who wish to quickly acquire the principles and jaractice of 

 land drainage." Different chapters deal with soils, land drainage practice, leveling 

 and topography, laying out drains in the field, fixing the grade of drains, maps and 

 records, grading the ditches for tile, flow of water through pipes, size of lateral drains, 

 open drains, di-ainage of l)arnyards, cattle lanes, etc., road drainage, drainage districts, 

 estimates of cost, and l)enefits and jirofits of land drainage. 



Irrigation institutions, E. Mead {Xew York and London: TlieMacmillnn Company, 

 1903, pp. XI^392, figs. 6). — This work, by the Chief of Irrigation Investigations of 

 this Oflice, "is based on 20 years' experience in the development of irrigated agri- 

 culture in the arid "West" as engineer in charge of irrigation works, administrator of 

 irrigation laws, and teacher and investigator of the subject of irrigation. It contains 

 chapters on land laws of the arid region, the beginnings of irrigation, the doctrine of 

 appropriation, contract water rights, measurement of water, the duty of Avater, irriga- 

 tion in Colorado, California, Utah, AVyoming, and in the other arid and semi-arid 

 States, riparian and interstate rights, and methods and measures needed for future 

 development. 



Hydrography (Twenty-second Ann. Upt. U. A'. Geol. Surrey, 1900-1901, pt. 4, pp. 

 690, jtlx. 65, figs. 244)- — This includes reports by F. H. Newell of progress of stream 

 measurements in 1900 (see also E. S. R., 13, p. 1102); by A. P. Davis on the hydro- 

 graphy of the American isthmus; and by W. D. Johnson on the High Plains and 

 their utilization. The last paper gives a summary of an earlier article on the same 

 subject (E. S. R., 13, j). 1000) and discusses the underground supply of water and its 

 utilization in irrigating the valleys, the uplands being utilized mainly for stock 

 farming. 



Water storage on Salt River, Arizona, A. P. Davis ( Water Supply and Irrig. 

 Papers, U. S. Geol. Survey, Xo. 73, pp. 54, pis. 25, figs. 4)- — This paper gives the results 

 of surveys and investigations for water storage on Salt and Verde rivers during 1901. 

 It is of especial interest as giving in considerable detail plans and specifications for 

 the Salt River reservoir at the junction of Tonto Creek with Salt River, which is to 

 be one of the first of the large projects undertaken under the recently enacted
