Ill La Revue t^clentifique (xlix, 797) M, Lacassagne, director of tlie 

 faculty of medicine in Lyon, publishes a questionnaire on physiological 

 psychology. The object is to stimulate statistical researches on the 

 relations between the sensorial apparatus, the quality of memory, and 

 the mode of functioning of the centers of language and of ideation. 

 Mm. H. Beaunis and A. Binet follow up tins subject in the succeeding 

 volume (L, 340-343) with a questionnaire addressctl to painters, sculp- 

 tors, and designers relative to a visual memory of coh)r and form, the 

 chief points of the inquiry l)eing the distinctness of visual recollec- 

 tions, the qualities of visual memory, distinction between form ineniory 

 and color memory, fidelity of this characteristic, the role of visual mem- 

 ory in the art of design, peculiarities. Dr. Riccardi's ^AHfhrojmJofiia e 

 Pedagogia is a study in the science of education founded on a basis of 

 experimental psychology and anthropology. He has collected during 

 the last seven or eight years, with the lielp of teachers, some hundred 

 thousand observations on two thousand children of Modena and Bologna, 

 and in this first part of the work he presents the data concerning this 

 psychological and sociological condition. He divides the pupils into 

 good, middling, and bad, and investigates the characters of these 

 classes with reference to family life, number in a family, healthiness of 

 the family stock, social position, etc., in each case first taking the sexes 

 together and then considering boys and girls separately. Italian child- 

 ren, to a large extent, live under bad conditions and are decidedly 

 below the anthropometric standards of other nations. There is a 

 marked contrast between the children of the jjoor and of the well-to- 

 do classes, to the advantage of the latter. [Rev. in J. Anthrop. Inst.,
