adapted, together with directions and dia-

 those formerly given, together with the ad-

Manual of Clinical Diagnosis. By Otto 

 Skifkut and Fiukdrich Muller. Trans- 

 lated from the third (revised) edition by 

 William B. Canfield. With Sixty Il- 

 lustrations. New York : G. P. Putnam's 

 Sons. Pp. 173. Price, $1.25. 

 This manual comprises concise directions 

 for the various clinical examinations which 

 yield the data for medical diagnosis. It 

 contains, also, facts and figures which the 

 physician should always have available, yet 

 which are too numerous to be remembered 

 correctly, and too widely scattered through 

 books and periodicals to be readily referred 

 to. The favor with which the book has 

 been received in Germany has led to this 

 translation. 



An extended and richly illustrated work 

 on " The Fishes of North America " is an- 

 nounced by Mr. William C. Harris, editor 

 of the " American Angler," who has spent 

 five years in collecting the material for it. 

 Many months of this time were spent on 

 selected fishing waters, with a skilled artist 

 in company with the author, who, working 

 upon the shore or in the stern of the boat, 

 painted the portraits of the specimens im- 

 mediately after they were caught, while the 

 lively coloring and evanescent sheen were 

 still upon them. The portraits are given in 

 an upright position, as in the act of swim- 

 ming, with all the markings, even to the 

 exact number of spines in the fins, faith- 

 fully reproduced. The publication will be 

 issued in monthly parts, with pages twelve 

 by seventeen inches in size, which will con- 

 tain each : Two portraits of fishes, colored 

 as in life; scientific classification and de- 

 scription ; local names and habitat ; when 

 and where caught ; method of capture ; 

 tackle and lures used ; and striking inci- 



dents of capture. The work will be issued 

 in forty parts, containing the portraits, etc., 

 of eighty fishes. Price, $1.50 a number.
