MAMMALIA. 
This work contains the substance of a course of lectures de- 
livered in 1870 by the author as Hunterian Professor at the 
Royal College of Surgeons of England, and forms a students 
hand-book. In carrying out his plan the author has been most 
successful, the materials being worked out in a uniformly con- 
scientious manner, so that the beginner has no difficulty in be- 
coming acquainted with the principal facts, without being com- 
pelled to select them from a mass of details which are better re- 
served for a future course of study. Yet we should give an erro- 
neous impression of this work by representing that it contains 
nothing but elementary matter. Beside being a most useful 
guide to the elements of Mammalian Osteology, it treats of the 
modifications of structure of all the more important types, and 
will be consulted with advantage by the advanced student. A 
useful index is appended.
