VETERINAR KALENDER.—pro 1891. By Dr. Alois Koch, Wein. 
We have received from Wein the fourteenth issue of the 
Kalender published by Dr. A. Koch. It is for our German 
brethren the equivalent of the Physician’s Visiting List for 
practitioners on this side of the Atlantic. Well adapted to 
the daily requirements of the busy veterinarian, it contains 
many items of useful information, amongst which are not only 
a catalogue of most of the best German books and journals, but 
also a resume of the announcements of all the veterinary 
schools of the world. Professor Koch is a hard worker in 
behalf of his profession, and has added many volumes to vet¬ 
erinary literature. His Encyclopedia of Veterinary Medicine, 
his journal, the Revue fur TJiierheilkunde and TheirziscJit, stand 
amongst his best publications. This little Kalender will of 
course be a valuable help and a daily convenience to our Ger¬ 
man reading veterinarian brethren. 
Some of our American writers might do a good thing by 
publishing a similar “ Kalender ” or Visiting List, in which 
subjects of American interest could be included, with such 
items and hints for reference as ever}" man in professional life 
of any kind needs at times, and ought to appreciate. 
QUIZ COMPENDS.—Equine Anatomy and Physiology. By Dr. Ballou. (P. 
Blaldston, Son & Co., Philadelphia, Pa.) 
A nice little volume of two hundred pages, well adapted 
to help the veterinary student in revising his studies, and of 
use to the practitioner as well, to refresh his mind and quicken 
his memory, in the exigencies which will sometimes overtake 
the best of us.
