INTRODUCTION. 
The Record for 1895 shows a slight diminution in the number of titles, 
due to the smaller number of papers specially devoted to human patho- 
logy, as compared with the previous year. 
Under Anatomy, the papers by Lister and Riiumbler on Foraminifera , 
and that of Karawaiew on Radiolaria , are of considerable importance. 
From the systematic aspect, the monograph of Crag Foraminifera , by 
Rupert Jones, calls for special notice, it being the continuation of the 
monograph published by Jones, Parker, & Brady in 1866. Under 
Physiology, the processes of digestion in Carchesium are fully discussed 
by Greenwood. From the palaeontological point of view, the discovery 
by Hinde & Fox of a series of strata almost entirely composed of Radio - 
laria is of special interest.
