on the head, of which twelve are described; II., operations on 
the neck, of which ten are described; III., operations on the trunk 
and on the genital organs, of which fourteen are described; IV., 
operations on the extremities, of which fourteen are described; 
an aggregate of fifty operations, the technic of which is care¬ 
fully described and illustrated. Part 2 embraces embryotomy 
operations, of which nine are described and illustrated. The 
previous editions of Williams’ works on surgery and obstetrics 
have been good, but this third edition of Surgical and Obstetrical 
Operations brings veterinary surgery right up to the hour with 
the most thorough, scientific and practical methods of procedure, 
including the latest instruments especially devised to meet the re¬ 
quirements of the operator. So that while this concise and com¬ 
prehensive little work is eminently fitted to the uses of the vet¬ 
erinary student, it is equally essential to the practitioner who 
would keep abreast of the times in veterinary surgery. 
Well-Known New York Veterinarian Dies. —We were 
grieved to read in a recent issue of the Rider and Drizer of the 
death of an esteemed friend, one of the oldest veterinary prac¬ 
titioners in New York City, Dr. James Shaw Cattanaeh, who 1 had 
passed to his last resting place on July 7, at his home at Lake 
Ronkonkoma, Long Island, after an illness lasting eight days. 
Born in Scotland, Dr. Cattanaeh came to America forty-odd 
years ago and has practiced his profession in New York City 
since that time. He was veterinarian to the first horse show held 
at Madison Square Garden in 1885. Dr. Cattanaeh was a good 
horseman, and was fond of driving a “ good pair.” Nearly every 
fall when his friends would meet him after not having seen him 
for a month or two, and would remark upon his ruddy com¬ 
plexion and hale condition, he would reply that he had “ been 
away on the heather,” for he went abroad nearly every year. 
Three sons have followed their father’s choice in selecting an 
avocation, Charles C., John J. and James S., Jr., all of whom are 
successful veterinarians. 
Must Read Review to Keep in the Front Ranks.—D r. 
W. C. Holden, Delphos, Ohio, in renewing his subscription, 
writes: “ No veterinary practitioner can keep pace with the revo¬ 
lutions of the great wheel of veterinary progress and not be a 
reader of the American Veterinary Review.”
