and Reptiles, pp. 53-61.

The object of this beautiful work is to illustrate, by photography, the 
structure of the central nervous system. No one animal is made a 
special object of research ; but anatomical facts, taken from the diffe- 
rent types, are brought together in order to facilitate comparison. The 
presentation of some of the most striking points of difference and 
resemblance, with a brief notice of the appearances and structures dis- 
covered by the author, form the greater part of the text. The types 
studied belong to 19 species, illustrating the Crocodilia, Chelonia, Lacer- 
tilia , Ophidia , and Batrachia Ecaudata and Caudata.
