Quid sit pulchrum, quid turpe, quid utile, quid non.— Hor. 
Lectures on Veterinary Zoology, and the Rearing and Manage¬ 
ment of Animals. By L. F. Grognier, Professor at the 
Veterinary School at Lyons. Nos. 1 and 2. 
V ETERiNARY dietetics have not yet been treated of in a com¬ 
plete manner in any work ; and this omission is more preju¬ 
dicial than is generally imagined, because, by a study, better 
followed up, of the proper feeding of animals, numerous and 
interesting relations might be established between the‘agricul¬ 
turist and the veterinary surgeon. 
M. Grognier, who is well known both as a scientific agricul- 
turist and a veterinary surgeon, has undertaken the composition 
of a work of Which we stand in much need. His intention is 
successively to treat on the general food, and management, and 
amelioration of the breed of horses, cattle, sheep, pigs, dogs, 
bees, and silk-worms; which constitute the circle of rural vete- 
linary economy. 
This chief subject of his work is preceded by a short course of 
veterinary zoology. 
M. Grognier has comprehended under this title the natural 
history of both domesticated and hurtful animals. Thus in two 
parts, each cont-aining four sheets of letter-press, already pub¬ 
lished, and classed in zoological order, an account has been given, 
first, of the domesticated mammalia; secondly, the hurtful mam¬ 
malia ; thirdly, the domesticated gallinaceous and palmated ani¬ 
mals ; fourthly, the bee and silk-worm ; fifthly, the insects 
hurtful to cattle, which belong to the genera of gad-fly, gnat, 
‘and horse-fly. 
The Veterinary Zoology will probably be terminated in the 
third number; and after which will come the rural veterinary 
economy, and which will also appear in numbers. 
The author hopes to be able to terminate his whole subject in 
sixteen numbers.

Lectures on Veterinary Zoology, Nos. 3 and 4. 
As we had imagined, the veterinary zoology was terminated 
in the third number of M. Grognier’s work. The fourth com- 
])rehends the commencement of therapeutics, or the treatment of 
domesticated animals both as it regards their food and general
