rOPULAR SCIENCE REVIEW. 
•we are dissatisfied with the author’s facts and illustrations. If there is any 
point in connection -with the ciliaiy muscle of great interest it is the minute 
relations which exist between it and the choroid on one hand and it and the 
cornea on the other. These, it seems to us, have in great measure been 
overlooked by Mr. Lee, who gives us enlarged but not microscopic figures 
of his dissections. If Mr. Lee would look over some of the specimens in 
Mr. Lockhart Clarke’s collection he would then see how much good work 
he has left undone. En passant, we would remark that the Reports ” on 
^Vnatomy and Physiology in this journal are the most carefully and discrimi- 
nately arranged abstracts we have ever seen. 
The Lymphoid Organs of Amphibia . — A paper by Herr Dr. Toldt has been 
read on this subject before the Vienna Academy. The so-called thyroid 
gland in frogs is described, and its relations in functional analogy with the 
lymphatic glands in Mammalia pointed out. The situation and structure 
of the organ in the amphibia called the thymus are described in detail, and 
its probable functions indicated. — Elnstitut, Dec. 2.
