286 Scientific Intelligence. 
Dr. W. I. Burnett, who is well known by his own thorough and mi- 
nute researches in many points in anatomy, has performed his duties 
as translator with great fidelity, and has also increased largely the value — 
of the edition by his extended additions to the notes and references. He 
has thus included the most recent results of foreign researches, and has 
made the work more complete in its exhibition of American Science. 
The typographical appearance of the volume is excellent. We have 
seen no scientific work published in this country that is more credita- 
e in-ils appearance. It is filled with technical words, and the biblio- 
graphical references in the notes are given, as to their titles, in the dan- 
guage in which the works referred to are written. ‘This technicality of

in equaily excellent style, and from the same enterprising publishing: 
house, Messrs. Gould & Lincoln, of Boston. ; 
The second volume of this encyclopedian anatomical work 's, We 
learn, in press, and will be issued as soon as practicable. It will com 
prise the anatomy of the Vertebrata, and we wish Dr. Burnett 00 bet 
ter success than that it may prove the mate of the present anna
