SCIENCE. 



147 



650 journals. To be sure, all the papers on 

 anatomical subjects wMcli appeared in 1901 

 are not given in tbis voliune, and tbere are 

 numerous papers appearing in 1900 cata- 

 logued, but the series of volumes gives prac- 

 tically a complete catalogue of such papers. 

 When we compare the new catalogue with 

 Schwalbe's so many deficiencies are at once 

 seen that only a few of them can be mentioned 

 in this review. Less than half as many titles 

 (about 1,600) are given as in Schwalbe. To 

 be sure, it is stated in the preface of the new 

 catalogue that it is to be a complete index, 

 but it is noted that the literature of Austria 

 has not been included and this omission of 

 literature is not sufficient to account for the 

 difference between the new catalogue and 

 Schwalbe's. The omissions are best expressed 

 by making some comparisons. In Schwalbe's 

 * Jahresbericht ' the blood and lymph, the fe- 

 male organs of sex and the integument are 

 represented by 301, 65 and 74 titles and in 

 the new catalogue by Y7, 43 and 36 titles re- 

 spectively. Under 'Pedagogy and Biography' 

 we miss, among others, Spalteholz, ' Zum 70 

 Geburtstag von Wilhelm His ' ; Gegenbaur, 

 ' Erlebtes und Erstrebtes ' ; Barker, ' On the 

 Study of Anatomy,' and Jackson, ' A Method 

 of Teaching Relational Anatomy ' ; all of 

 which are given in Schwalbe's ' Jahresbericht.' 

 We also do not find any reference to the Jour- 

 nal of Morphology^, The Biological Bulletin, 

 The Journal of Experimental Medicine, The 

 American Journal of Physiology, The Johns 

 Uophins Hospital Reports, The Bulletin of the 

 Johns Hopkins Hospital, The American Jour- 

 nal of Anatomy, The Journal of Comparative 

 Neurology, the Proceedings of the Association 

 of American Anatomists and the Journal of 

 Medical Research, each of which contains 

 articles on anatomy — 83 altogether. In the 

 new catalogue we find but one reference to 

 Minot and one to Bardeen; in Schwalbe there 

 are eleven references to these two authors. 



While there are many omissions there are 

 also many duplications. Spalteholz's ' Atlas ' 

 with its translation is entered thirteen times; 

 Szymonowicz, which came out in parts is given 

 fifteen times, while Stohr is given six times in 

 the subject catalogue and not at all in the 



authors' catalogue. There are also a number 

 of contributions which should not have been 

 included in this catalogue, e. g., Meisenheimer, 

 ' Die Entwicklung von Herz, Perikard, 

 Niere und Genitalzellen bei Gyclas,' etc., 

 and also a few subjects catalogued under the 

 wrong headings. Eisler on the ' Museularis 

 Sternalis ' should be under ' Abnormalities ' 

 and Parskij, ' Die Anatomie und Histologie 

 der Schildriise,' should not be under ' Pitui- 

 tary Body.' 



The above illustrations are only a few, but 

 they are sufficient to show that the ' Interna- 

 tional Catalogue of Scientific Literature on 

 Human Anatomy' is very incomplete; so 

 much so, that anatomists will not find in it a 

 substitute nor a supplement to the lists ac- 

 companying the Anatomischer Anzeiger nor to 

 Schwalbe's ' Jahresbericht.' It is to be hoped 

 that the volume for 1902 will include all the 

 titles found in any of the lists, for they are at 

 hand and can be copied and supplemented. 

 A complete authors' catalogue with a subject 

 catalogue will be welcomed by all anatomists.

SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS AND ARTICLES. 

 We have received the first number of the 

 Journal of Philosophy, Psychology and 

 Scientific Methods, edited by Professor Fred- 

 erick J. E. Woodbridge, of Columbia Uni- 

 versity and published by The Science Press 

 (Sub-station 84, New York City). The con- 

 tents are as follows : ' The International Con- 

 gress of Arts and Science,' Professor Hugo 

 Miinsterberg ; ' The Eeligious Consciousness 

 as Ontological,' Professor George Trumbull

 tine Ladd Eranklin; 'The Third Meeting of 

 the American Philosophical Association ' ; 

 ' Stratton's Experimental Psyeholog-y,' Pro- 

 fessor H. Austin Aikens ; ' Journals and New 

 Books'; 'Notes.' The scope of the journal 

 is explained in an editorial note which reads : 

 " In so far as an explanation or even an ex- 

 cuse may be needed for the establishment of 

 a new journal, it is hoped that this may be 

 given by the contents and form of the first 

 number of The Journal of Philosophy, Psy- 

 chology and Scientific Methods. There are in
