No. 382.] REVIEWS OF RECENT LITERATURE. Sor 
certainly be mentioned the beautiful tribute to that “ Altmeister der 
Helminthologie,” Rudolph Leuckart, whose photograph opens the 
second part; and the verdict that, famed as he was by his researches, 
the greatest power of the man was displayed as a teacher, will be 
shared by his students in all lands to whom to-day even the mention 
of his name comes as an inspiration. Among the score or more of 
scientific contributions it is almost invidious to attempt a choice, and 
some of the shortest can hardly be passed without mention. Of most 
general interest are perhaps Artault’s splendid investigation on the 
flora and fauna of the pulmonary cavities and Brault’s diseases of 
tropical lands. Legrain’s well-illustrated article on parasitic diseases 
of Algeria will be read with peculiar interest by the physician, while 
those who have spent weary hours wrestling with the dry bones of 
systematic confusion will hail with delight such articles as Shipley’s 
revision of the Linguatulide and Stiles and Hassall’s inventory of 
the Fasciolidæ. Railliet and Marotel’s article on the pancreatic fluke, 
which is the first accurate account of this species, a discussion of 
phagocytic organs in ascarids by Nasonov, whose figures are valuable 
aids to the comprehension of this newly emphasized feature of 
nematode anatomy, and Verdun and Iversenc’s note on cysticerci 
of the cerebral ventricles will each interest the zoologist while appeal- 
ing most strongly to workers in particular lines. The latter article 
calls for especial mention by virtue of its admirable summation of 
recorded cases of this type 
Perhaps the most characteristic feature of all the articles is the 
evident desire, successfully realized in most cases, to treat subjects 
from the standpoint of the specialist and yet to interpret them in the 
broadest way possible. This is manifest also in the editorial notes, as 
witnessed in the discussion of vicissitudes of helminthological nomen- 
clature, where a gentle but just rebuke is administered with all the 
delicate and proverbial courtesy of a Frenchman. 
Following the original articles, of which the bulk of each number is 
made up, are several pages of notes, and a list of reprints received 
closes the part. This list is evidently destined to become a valuable 
quarterly summary of contributions to parasitology convenient of 
reference, since the arrangement is topical and praiseworthy in that 
the references are full and precise. 
In general appearance the Archives demonstrates the expressed 
resolve of the founder “to neglect nothing to make the typography 
and illustrations irreproachable.” The paper used is of fine quality, 
the type clear and pleasing to the eye, and the text-figures, which are
