140 Chronicles of Science. [Jan., 



these, there is a paper by Dr. Lightbody " On the Corneal Tissue" — 

 an Edinburgh prize thesis — which is of considerable value ; also a 

 paper by Mr. Wood, of King's College, "On Variations in Human 

 Myology," and numerous abstracts and notices of works and memoirs. 

 We must here state that we are by no means gratified with the 

 plates, which are badly executed, and tend to give a journal, other- 

 wise of very high character, a slovenly appearance. 



In addition to the works referred to, we have to notice Dr. 

 Harley's Histological Demonstrations, which are chiefly reprints 

 of lectures delivered by him. The work contains admirable micro- 

 scopical illustrations of the tissues in health and disease, and will be 

 found of great service to medical students and others who wish to 

 keep pace with the advancing knowledge of the day. Mr. Murray 

 has published a fourth edition of Darwin's ' Origin of Species,' being 

 the eighth thousand.
