We have received the above through the courtesy of Dr. Henry 

 Ferrer, corresponding secretary of the Academy. The articles con- 

 tained are of high order. Among those of more general interest we 

 notice " Studies in the Botany of California and Parts Adjacent," V. 

 Edward Lee Greene: "Descriptive Notices of North American 

 Coleoptera," I. Thos. L. Casey: "Additions to the Ornithology of 

 Guadalupe Island," Walter E. Biyant, and "Early Spanish Voyages 

 of Discovery on the coast of California," Geo. Davidson, A. M., Ph. D.

The Treatment of Hemorrhoids, by Charles B. Kelscy, M. D. Geo. S. 

 Davis, Detroit. 



This small volume, the first number of the Physician's Leisure 

 Library for 1887. comes out in a very neat and attractive form. 

 The publisher has made a little innovation in pi'iuting it in brown 

 ink It is rather pleasing to the eye, but we are not sure that it is 

 an improvement over black. The contents of the book are of a very 

 practical nature. Dr. Kelsey's writings on this subject have been 

 numerous, and although we are familiar, from the perusal of his 

 books and joui'nal articles, with his methods of treatment, the con- 

 cise little hand-book before us forms a welcome essay of the subject. 



W^e have received the advance sheets of a new work on Medical 

 Jurisprudence, by the well-known medico-legal advocate. Dr. 

 Marshall D. Ewell, F. E. M. S., of Chicago. The work wiU be 

 issued from the house of Little, Brown & Co., Boston, and will be 

 an invaluable addition to the physician's libraiy. A further review 

 of the work will appear later.
