Braun, M. and Luhe, M. (1910). A Handbook of Practical Parasitology, translated 
by Linda Forster. 208 pp. 100 text figs. 26 x 16 cm. Cloth. London : 
John Bale, Sons & Danielsson, Ltd., 83 Great Titchfield St. W. 
The book is divided into three parts dealing respectively with Protozoa 
(pp. 1—91), Helminthes (pp. 92—173) and Arthropoda (pp. 174—192) and is 
provided with a good index. The value of the book for laboratory workers 
consists in the large amount of information it contains regarding technical 
methods. 
Castellani, A. and Chalmers, A. J. (1910). Manual of Tropical Medicine , 
1242 pp. with 14 coloured plates and 373 text figures. 22 x 15 cm. Cloth. 
London : Bailliere, Tindall & Cox, 8 Henrietta St., Covent Garden. 
The first thing that strikes the reader in opening this book is the wealth of 
new and excellent illustration, a great deal of which is original, the rest obtained 
from many sources to which the authors give due credit. The book contains a 
great deal that is not to be found in other works on tropical medicine and it 
should consequently find a wide cii’cle of readers. The various chapters are 
supplied with many references to the literature which has been brought up to 
date in a remarkable manner considering the dimensions of the book and 
especially the fact that the authors reside in Ceylon. Both the authors and 
publishers are to be congratulated upon the excellent appearance of the book ; 
it will certainly be a great help to students of tropical medicine. 
Daniels, C. W. (1910). Tropical Medicine and Hygiene , with a chapter on Snakes 
by A. Alcock, F.R.S. Part II. Diseases due to the Metazoa. 283 pp. with 1 pi. 
and 98 text figures. 22 x 15 cm. Cloth 7a - . 6 d. London : John Bale, Sons & 
Danielsson, Ltd., 83 Great Titchfield St., W. 
This book, which is destined to appear in three parts, provides a concise 
description of parasitic diseases, their mode of spread and their prevention. 
Part II is divided into sixteen chapters of which the first thirteen deal with 
Vermes. Chapter XIV gives a resume of prophylactic measures directed 
against diseases due to worms. Chapter XV deals with Leeches and Arthropoda— 
little more than a page is devoted to Leeches whilst no reference is made to 
fleas or ticks which will doubtless receive attention in another part of the book.
