HUXLEY. The Anatomy of Vertebrated Animals. 
Henry Huxiry, LL.D., F.R.S. 12mo. Illustrated. 
Cloth, $2.50. 
“The present work is intended to provide students of comparative anatomy with a condensed state- 
ment of the most important facts relating to the structure of vertebrated animals which have hitherto 
been ascertained. e Vertebrata are distinguished from all other animals by the circumstance that a 
transverse and vertical section of the body exhibits two cavities completely separated trom one another 
by a partition. The dorsal cavity contains the cerebro sind nervous system ; the ventral, the alimen- 
tary canal, the heart, und usually a double chain of gangeli

ia, which passes under the name of the ‘sym- 
pathetic.’ It is probable that this sympathetic nervous system represents, wholly or partially, the 
principal nervous system of the Annulosa and Mollusca, And, in any case, the central parts of the 
cerebro-spinal nervous system—viz., the brain and the spinal cord—would appear to be unrepresented 
amoug invertebrated animals.”— The Author. 
“This long-expected work will be cordially 
welcomed by all students and teachers of Com- 
parative Anatomy as a compendious, reliable, and, 
notwithstanding its small dimensions, most com- 
pene guide on the subject of which it treats. 
‘0 praise or to criticise the work of so accom- 
plished a master of his favorite science would be 
equally out of place. It is enough to say that, 
it realizes, in a remarkable degree, the anticipa- 
tions which have been formed of it; and that it 
presents an extraordinary combination of wide, 
general views, with the clear, accurate, and suc- 
einct statement of a prodigious number of' indi- 
vidual tacts.”—Wature.

Phthisis. By S. Jaccoup, Professor of Medical Pathology to the 
Faculty of Paris; Member of the Academy of Medicine; Physician to

“This is the work of that most cminent 
Frenchman of the Ecole de Médecine ot Paris, 
and the translation of Lubbock is strong and 
masterly inasmuch as it evidences the possession 
of a large vocabulary knowledge of both the 
original and English. No man of the present 
day, with the single exception perhaps of Hughes 
Bennct, has devoted as much careful study to the 
climatic treatment of phthisis as Dr. Jaccoud, 
and. his conclusions on this point so far as re- 
gards the Continent of Europe must be deemed 
final.”?— Cincinnati Lancet and Clinic. 
““M. Jaccoud, the author of the work, and 
the eminent professor ot the Ecole de Médecine, 
Paris, is generally recognized on the Continent 
as one of the best authorities on pulmona: 
phthisis, so that an English edition of his wor! 
will certainly be very acceptable to those inter- 
ested in the subject... . M. Jaccoud’s reputation 
is justiy so great that his opinions with respect 
to the treatment will be read with general 
interest.”’— Texas Courier-Record of Medicine.
