other genera are revised, including certain New England genera and 

 species. Several necessary changes in nomenclature are also made. 

 In this connection, it may be of interest to mention that a 

 second Bermudian species of lizard, similar to, and perhaps iden- 

 tical with, the Blue-tailed Lizard of the eastern IT. States, is in 

 the Yale Museum. As preserved in alcohol, its body is green, 

 without stripes ; tail bluish green ; head dark brown. Length 

 about 5 inches. a. e. v.

1. Lepons de Physiologic Experiment ale, par R. Dubois et 

 E. Couvretjr. Pp. 380, 303 gravures. Paris, 1900 (G. Carre 

 et C. Naud). — With the increasing tendency to teach physiology 

 as an experimental science has come the demand for manuals 

 which will assist the student in his practical work. The volume 

 under consideration is the outcome of the experience gained by 

 the authors in directing the courses in experimental physiology 

 at the University of Lyons. It differs from most of its predeces- 

 sors in the detail with which the experimental technique peculiar 

 to physiology has been presented. An acquaintance with the 

 more important phenomena of living organisms is assumed, and 

 the directions given are intended to be sufficiently explicit to 

 guide the student in the laboratory. The diversity of topics con- 

 sidered, and more particularly the unusual mode of presentation
