of a too hasty reading of the proof. A little care would have eliminated 

 such errors as that on page 144, where Fr. Joaquin Martinez de Ziiiiiga's 

 '"Estadismo de las Islas Eiliijinas" is cited as "P. Martinez makes the 

 statement in his book 'Estadismus de Filipinas,' etc." 



In explanation of the absence of references the author says : 



"No attempt has been made to give references to tlie literature, because refer- 

 ences have been given already in the Philippine Journal of Science, where the 

 original monographs of the author covering a part of the subject matter of this 

 book have appeared from time to time during the past few years." 



In conclusion, attention may be called to two recent papers ^ in which 

 Doctor Bean gives the results of some further investigations, and sums 

 up his conclusions with even greater clarity than in the book itself. 



Eegardless of the effect of future investigations npon his conclusions, 

 the work of Doctor Bean marks a distinct step in advance in the science 

 of somatology.
