1397] SOME NEW BOOKS 61 
nautical world, whether in the form of experiments, lectures, publica- 
tions, magazine articles, inventions, or patents. 
La Revista Nueva is an illustrated monthly, which commenced 
publication at San José, Costa Rica, in September 1896. The directors 
are R. Fernandez Guardia and Alberto Masterrer, and they have the 
moral support of the Government. The price is 60 cents a number, 
1 dol. 50 cents a quarter. For the most part the Revista is devoted to 
general and literary topics; but we notice that the earlier numbers 
contain a series of articles by Anastasio Alfaro on the antiquities and 
the mammals of Costa Rica. Among the coloured plates are repre- 
sentations of figured jars in the museum of Costa Rica. 
We have received the first two fascicules of Revista Quindicinale 
di Psicologia, Psichiatria, Neuropatologia ad uso dei Medici e dei 
Giuristi, which is the expressive though cumbersome title of a fort- 
nightly magazine, blessed with two directors, seven editors, and twenty- 
nine collaborators. The chief editor is Dr Sante de Sanctis, R. Clinica 
Psichiatrica, Via Penitenzieri, 13, Rome. The publishers are Fratelli 
Capaccini, Via Sistina 22, Rome. Lach fascicule, which consists of 
16 pages, contains two original articlés and several reviews. A year’s 
subscription (from May 1 in each year) is 6 hre. The Revista should 
do much to produce healthy co-operation in Italy between the students 
of pure psychology and their fellow-workers in criminal and patho- 
logical psychology ; success seems guaranteed by the eminence of the 
contributors.
