This second volume of the very interesting work of Professor 

 Janet brings the clinical material underlying and further illustrating 

 the discussions of the first volume. It is a treasure of clinical informa- 

 tion, full of masterly descriptions and analyses. The whole work is a 

 remarkable continuation of the similar set of two volumes — "Nevroses 

 et idees fixes." A. M.

The author finds by the Golgi method, in addition to the free 

 nerve endings already known, sense cells in the epidermis which give 

 rise to centripetal fibers. The reviewer has studied the same struc- 

 tures, which are frequently impregnated in his preparations of Latn- 

 pctra, and has come to the conclusion that they are ordinary epider- 

 mal cells, the precipitate upon which is continuous with that upon 

 neighboring free nerve fibers. j. b. j.
