NEW BOOK. 



" The Essentials of Histology, Descriptive and Practical, for 

 the Use of Students." By E. A. Schafer, F.R.S., Jodrell Pro- 

 fessor of Physiology in University College, London, Editor of 

 the physiological portion of Quain's " Anatomy." Third 

 edition, revised and enlarged. London : Longmans, Green, 

 and Co. 



This book, well known as a text-book for medical students, 

 will be found a most useful book for microscopists generally, 

 whatever subject they may have selected for special pursuit, 

 for no work could give them a sounder knowledge of the 

 principles of histology, which would be invaluable in almost 

 any branch of microscopic work, and would also help to an in- 

 telligent interest in the work of others and in the progress of 

 microscopical science. 



The work is arranged in a series of progressive lessons. The 

 edition now before us contains much additional matter, is illus- 

 trated with upwards of 300 carefully executed engravings, 

 many of which are new, thas bringing it well up to date, and 

 also, in an appendix, ample instructions for hardening, cutting, 

 and staining sections, and mounting for examination or 

 preservation.
