men, but there are many in the veterinarian ranks who, we 
feel certain, will find in the reading of “ Bacteriological Diag¬

practical utility.

their study and appreciation. 
PRAPARIERMETHODIK. By Dr. Rudolf Lothes, Berlin. Berlin: r 
Richard Schoetz. 
This is an excellent little anatomical guide, prepared by 
Dr. R. Lothes, Demonstrator to the Veterinary School of 
Berlin, giving directions in the various steps to be followed 
in the dissection of the equine cadaver. 
The preparation of the muscles, joints, viscera, arteries 
and nerves are concisely and clearly presented to the reader 
—the nervous and circulatory systems being illustrated by 
shematic plates, which render the subject more readily com¬ 
prehensible to the student than long verbal descriptions. 
We have no work like this in any other language, and it 
is to be hoped that some of our friends familiar with the 
German language will translate “ Prapariermethodik ” in 
such form as to make it a classical book for our students— 
adapting it, however, to the text followed in our English 
works on equine anatomy.

graduate sophomores and freshmen were in attendance, to¬ 
gether with a large number of “ undergrads,” to do honor to 
the graduating class of 1892.
