in the text. Paris : Librairie Scientifique et Litteraire. 
This fasciculus, the first of a series which will deal with arthropods in 
relation to disease, concerns itself with the Ixodoidea. The work promises 
to be very useful. 
Braun, M. and Luhe, M. (1909). Leitfaden zur Untersuchung der Tierischen

Any work from the pens of Professor Max Braun and Dr M. Luhe is sure to 
be sound, careful, accurate, and helpful. The present work proves no exception 
to the rule. It contains a well thought out account of the chief Parasites of 
Man and domesticated and other animals. Careful instructions are given 
where to find and how to preserve and mount these parasites. These instruc¬ 
tions are full and detailed, and cannot fail to be of great value to the doctor, 
medical officer of health, or the veterinary surgeon. Protozoan parasites have 
been dealt with by Dr Luhe, whilst the Metazoa are described by Professor 
Braun. The recent advances in our knowledge of Parasites carried by insects 
has necessitated an account of such biting Arthropods as ticks, mosquitoes, 
and other members of the Diptera and Hemiptera. The book is handsomely 
illustrated. We are happy to state that an English translation is fast 
advancing towards completion. 
Guiart (1909). Pre'cis de Parasitologie, 628 pp., 549 figures noires et coloriees. 
Boards: 12 fr. Paris: Librairie J.-B. Baillicreet fils, 19 rue Hautefeuille. 
The volume just issued by Professor Guiart is exceptionally welcome. It 
is well written, well printed, and well illustrated. It covers the whole ground 
of human parasitology; beginning with the parasitic fungi, passing on through 
the protozoan parasites, the account of which is as complete as our present 
knowledge admits, then through the various metazoan entozoa, and finally it 
even deals with the Arachnid and other Saprophytes of the cadaver. The 
book is in most respects abreast of recent knowledge, though the confusion in 
which the life-histories of Protozoan parasites is still environed renders it 
doubtful if in all cases Professor Guiart’s account exactly corresponds with
