duty is to estimate the honesty of the work, the value of the 
volume to those for whom it is intended, and its scientific accuracy 
up to date. Having estimated this we are not anxious to search 
with microscopic eye, and bilious intent, for any little slip or error 
which might perchance be hidden in some obscure corner. Finally, 
therefore, we commend this volume to such of our readers as are 
interested in the Myxogastres, in full confidence that it will give 
them every satisfaction.
