1875.1 Notices of Books. TEL 
We find an interesting account of certain human monstrosities 
which have lately attracted public attention, such as the ‘“ dog- 
man, Yeftichjew, and his son. It is remarkable that in the 
human subject an excessive development of hair is accompanied 
by a defective growth of the teeth. 
The celebrated Guadeloupe skeleton has been assigned by the 
researches of M. Hamy to an age between the first appearance 
of the Caribs in the lesser Antilles, and the dawn of the his- 
torical epoch. When the Caribs first showed themselves in 
those islands is still, however, a very doubtful point. 
It will be perceived that one subject follows upon another in 
this work in a somewhat promiscuous manner, without any 
regard to scientific method. To meet this difficulty we find at 
the end a ‘‘ methodic table,” in which the subject-matter is 
classified under the heads of astronomy, physics, mechanics, &c.
