xlvi JOURNAL OF COMPARATIVE NEUROLOGY. 
Bianchi’s Psychiatry.' 
Professor BraNCuI announces that his new text-book of Psychiatry 
will be wrought out largely on new lines, cutting loose so far as possible 
from the traditional and scholastic treatment. Part I, just off the press, 
comprises 170 pages, with 54 text-figures, and is devoted to general 
anatomical and physiological considerations, such as the fundamental 
laws of the evolution of mind in relation with the evolution of the 
nervous system, the plan, architectonic, anatomical and physiological, 
of the human brain, and its relation to psychic processes. Great stress 
will be laid upon the physiology and histology of the central nervous 
system, as furnishing the basis upon which the Psychiatry of today is 
to be constructed. The second part will serve as a general introduc- 
tion to the clinical study of mental disease, and the third part, natur- 
ally much larger, will take up the systematic treatment of the several 
psychopathies. The second and third parts are promised within a few 
months and the whole will make a work of some 600 pages octavo, 
with many figures. : comes Ce: 
The Boehm-Davidoff-Huber Histology.’ 
Many American histologists have regarded the German edition of 
the text-book of B6HMm and DaviporrF as the best manual in print. Our 
satisfaction in seeing this work translated and thus made available for 
English-speaking students is greatly increased by the fact that the 
American editor has made extensive additions which are on the same 
high plane of excellence as that of the German original. The more 
important additions are in connection with the ductless glands and the 
peripheral nervous system, particularly nerve endings in muscles, 
glands and other organs. Our readers, who have followed the series 
of articles on these subjects which Dr. HuBER has contributed to the 
JOURNAL OF CoMPARATIVE NEUROLOGY during the past few years, will 
need no further testimonial to the value of the additions to the German 
text. The publishers are to be commended not only for an admirable 
example of book-making, but for the very reasonable price which they 
have put upon it. Cgaee
