The whole book is just a straightforward, 

 single-tracked exposition of the results of 

 a wisely planned research program, per- 

 sistently and painstakingly followed 

 through. It is a pity that there are not 

 more books like this.

 propagation, ses manifestations electriques. 

 By Henri Frederic^ 



Les Presses Universitaires de France 

 40 francs 6 x 9I; viii + 300 Paris 



A thorough review of the physiology 

 of heart muscle, documented with a 

 bibliography of 779 titles. The material 

 is discussed under the following heads: 

 The origin and the conduction within the 

 heart of the excitation and the contrac- 

 tion; autonomous rhythms of the heart; 

 neurogenic and myogenic theories of 

 automatism and intracardiac conduction; 

 the electrocardiogram from a physiologic 

 point of view; the nature of the auricular

THE PHYSIOLOGY OF REPRODUC- 

 TION IN THE COW. 



By John Hammond. The M-acmillan Co. 



$7.00 7 x 10; xvi + Z2.6 New York 



An interesting and valuable summary 

 of the present state of knowledge of the 

 physiology of reproduction and develop- 

 ment of the udder in the cow, which in- 

 cludes a large amount of original data 

 derived from the author's own investiga- 

 tions in these fields. It will be a first- 

 order reference book for all students of 

 agricultural physiology. There is a bib- 

 liography of 400 titles. The book is 

 abundantly and beautifully illustrated, 

 though in some cases, as for example 



Plate XX, the original photographic work 

 could have been better done. 



DIE UNREGELMASSIGE HERZTATIG- 



KEIT. 



By K. F. Wenckebach and Hch. Winterberg. 



Wilhelm Engelmann 

 Leipzig 

 78 marks 



Textband; 7 x 10; vii + 635 

 Tafelband; 7 x 10; 184 plates 

 This book started, in 1914, as a second 

 edition of Wenckebach's treatise on the 

 pathological physiology of the heart, but 

 it was decided as the work progressed to 

 rewrite practically the whole and make 

 essentially a new work of it. In its new 

 form it will constitute a basic reference 

 work for the clinician and the student of 

 pathological physiology. It is beauti- 

 fully printed and illustrated. There is a 

 bibliography of 1084 titles.
