Prof. Huxley's New Booh. — A book ou tlie classification of 

 animals by Prof. Huxley has just been publisbed, and must be of great 

 value to those reading for examinations, as well as to students and 

 teacliers. It is an extension of the lectures published in a former 

 volume, which also included lectures on the skull. The orders as 

 well as the larger groups of the animal kingdom and the imnciples 

 of classification are discussed in this book, which is undoubtedly 

 the most advanced and most trustworthy manual of the outlines of 

 comparative anatomy yet published. 



The Journal of Anatomy. — We desire cordially to recommend 

 this excellent journal, published half-yearly, to such of our readers 

 as are interested in the advancement of physiology and anatomy. 

 Professors Humphry and Tui-ner are ably carrying on their under- 

 taking, begun in 1867, but we can well beheve t^iat i: u:cre extended 

 circulation would be to the advantage of all parties concerned. The 

 reports on the progress of anatomy by Professor Turner, and on 

 various departments of physiology by Drs. Gamgee, Eutherford, 

 and Eraser of Edinburgh, and Dr. Moore of Dublin, are among 

 the most useful and complete records of biological literature that 

 are published in any language.
