NOTICES OF BOOKS. 



Veterinary Hygiene. — (R. G. Linton, M.R.C.V.S., Professor of Hygiene, 

 Royal (Dick) Veterinary College, Edinburgh. Royal 8vo ; 415pp., 92 

 illustrations. Edinburgh 1922, W.Green & Son Ltd.. price 26s.net.) This 

 volume is one of the Edinburgh Veterinary Series of which the general editor 

 is 0. Charnock Bradley, M.D., D.Sc, M.R.C.V.S., Principal, Royal (Dick) 

 Veterinary College, Edinburgh. It is intended for the use of studen-ts, 

 veterinary practitioners and others concerned with the wellbeing of animals. 

 Sections on water, meteorology, sanitation, air and ventilation, building 

 construction, preventive medicine and sanitary law are dealt with in a lucid 

 manner without raising too many controversial topics. The author has received 

 considerable help from many experts and quotations are numerous. A 

 bibliography at the end of each section would, however, have enhanced the 

 value of the volume considerably and helped those desirous of more detailed 

 study. 



The section on building construction is praiseworthy and practical, and tills 

 a long felt want in books dealing with veterinary hygiene. Particulars of the 

 construction and ventilation of live stock cariying vessels are not given, but 

 useful and essentially practical information is furnished concerning buildings 

 for animals with the exception of kennels and goat houses. Findlay's method
