5th ed., viii + 710 pp., 1457 text figs. Munich and Berlin (R. 

 Oldenbourg), 1921. — The fourth edition of this valuable work 

 (1915) was briefly noted in the October 1917 number of this 

 Journal. Now we have the fifth edition, somewhat enlarged, and 

 with many emendations and additions, but rather in details than 

 in matters of a fundamental nature. Upwards of 7500 genera 

 are described, and of these 1400 are illustrated. The more 

 important genera are now marked with an asterisk, an improve- 

 ment that will be appreciated by teachers and students of 

 paleontology. 



Professor Broili has of course been greatly hampered in not 

 having access to all of the literature published during the Great 

 War. He has, however, added to the bibliographies many 

 important new references. All in all, the book keeps up the great 

 reputation of Zittel and Broili, and that of the printer as well, 

 although we wish more attention had been given to the newer 

 classifications and to placing many groups of fossils more defin- 

 itely in the systems rather than leaving them, as at present, as 

 appendices at the end of the classes. Certainly the trilobites 

 deserve another disposition than as an order of the subclass 

 Entomostraca. The Anthozoa and Vermes also need a funda- 

 mental revision to bring out the relationships of the various stocks 

 to one another. Finally, the Conulariidae have nothing at all in 

 common with the pteropods or the molluscs in general, since 

 R/uedemann has shown them to be sessile attached animals.

 Bulletin XV. Training for the public Profession of the Law. — 

 The Carnegie Foundation, which has carried through a number 

 of exhaustive studies of different departments of education in this 

 country, as, for example, of the medical schools, has now returned 

 to the study of the legal profession. It will be remembered 

 that Bulletin VIII by Professor Redlich of Vienna University 

 discussed this subject a number of years since (see vol. 39, p. 611, 

 and 42, p. 88.) The central point now argued in detail is that 

 lawyers, because of their difference in training and in their pro- 

 fessional activities, cannot rightly be regarded, as here and in 

 Germany, as constituting a single undivided profession, or ' ' bar. ' ' 

 The historical aspect of the whole subject is treated in eight parts, 

 beginning with the English system prior to the American Revolu- 

 tion and extending to the time of the war with Germany. 



In the last period particularly the growth of evening, or part- 

 time, law schools, has made it impossible to regard all law schools 

 as alike. This is especially true because other schools now 

 demand a college training as a necessary preliminary. This 

 movement toward part-time schools is regarded as something to
