BIBLIOGRAPHY AND NOTICES. 
NOUVEAU DICTIONNAIRE PRATIQUE DE MEDECINE, DE CHIRUR- 
GIE ET D’HYGIENE VETERINAIRES. (New Practical Dictionary of 
Veterinary Medicine, Surgery and Hygiene), began by H. Bouley and con¬ 
tinued by Professors A. Sanson, L. Trasbot and Director E. Nocard. Vol. 
XVIII. (Asselin & Houzeau). 
This true encyclopedia of veterinary science is by steady 
degrees approaching completion. The new volume, which 
we have recently received, though issued some months ago, 
fills a wide gap, and includes many subjects of interest. Sev¬ 
eral of the leading French veterinarians have lent their aid 
to this latest number, which, like its predecessors, forms a 
volume of nearly 600 pages. It is printed and made up 
strictly as a practical scientific work, without aspiring to the 
style and finish of an edition de luxe. The articles contained 
in this Eighteenth Volume comprehend the following sub¬ 
jects : Prostate, Prothesis, Tail, by Professor Cadiot; Purga¬ 
tives and Purgation, by Professor Kaufmann; Priapism, 
Prodomes, Prognosis, by Mr. Labat; Rachitism, by Mr. 
Leclainche ; Anatomy and Physiology of the Lungs, by Pro¬ 
fessor Moussu; Pyohemia, by Director Nocard; Prophy¬ 
laxis, Quarantine and Rabies, by Professor Peuch ; Protozoa, 
Fleas and Bugs, by Professor Railliet; Precocity, Propor¬ 
tions, Thoroughbred, Breeds and Diet, by Professor Sanson, 
and though last, not least, Pathology of the Lungs, by Pro¬ 
fessor Trasbot. 
SPECIAL PATHOLOGY AND THERAPEUTICS OF DOMESTIC ANI¬ 
MALS, by Drs. Frieberger and Frobner. Translated from the German by 
Professor Cadiot and Mr. Ries.—(Asselin & Houzeau). 
This is the first part of the most recent standard German 
work, written by the learned professors of the Munich and 
the Berlin Veterinary Schools. It treats of the diseases of 
the digestive apparatus. The entire work is to be issued in 
four parts, and when completed will form two large octavo 
volumes. The second part will cover the diseases of the uri¬ 
nary, genital and tegumentary apparatuses, as well as those
