Biumenbach's work is in one vol. Svo. and forms an ex- 

 cellent compend of the science* It is well translated by 

 Mr. Lawrence of London. The transactions of the royal 

 society of London contain a great number of papers on com- 

 parative anatomy by various persons : a list of which is 

 given in Dr. Thompson's excellent and entertaining " His- 

 tory of the Royal Society from its institution to the end of 

 the ±8th centmnj, London, 1812," p. 112. The subjects be- 

 ing scientifically classed, by Dr. Thompson, a reference to it 

 will save much unnecessary labour in searching the volu- 

 minous work of the society for a paper on comparative 

 anatomy, or any other subject that he may wish to investi- 

 gate. See also the article " Comparative Anatomy*' in the 

 Philadelphia edition of the New Edinburgh Encyclopaedia 

 for a list of authors and papers on our subject.
