Tlie fourth edition of Beale’s ‘ Microscope in Medicine,’ and the 
second edition of Martin’s ‘ Manual of Microscopic Mounting,’ have just

Construction popularly explained.’ In Paris has been published 
the first part of Professor Ranvier’s ‘Histology of the Nervous 
System,’ and in Leipzig the fourth edition of Dr. Willkomm’s ‘ Die

Van Heurch’s ‘ Microscope applied to Botany ’ — A new edition of this 
work is announced to be in preparation, considerably enlarged, and 
with the addition of a third part dealing exclusively with diatoms. 
M. Van Heurck’s collection of diatoms is (according to Dr. Pelletan) 
one of the most important now existing, containing not less than 
10,000 specimens. It includes all the types of De Brebisson, and 
the original collections of Walker Arnott, Ealenstein, and Kutzing, 
without reckoning the numerous series of W. Smith, Griinow, 
Hantzich, Rabenhorst, &c. The collection of Kutzing, which be- 
longed to Eulenstein, was divided into two parts, of which one was 
sold to the British Museum, and the other, which Eulenstein 
reserved for himself, now belongs to M. Van Heurck.
