in the work which he accomplished against such odds. For tl^e 
session of 1898 the committee has been increased to five by the 
addition of Profs. Niles and Bell, and it is expected that by this

Supplement au Nouveau Dictionnaire Pratique de Medecine, Chirurgie et 
Hygiene Veterinaire (Supplement to the New Practical Dictionary of Veter¬ 
inary Medicine, Surgery and Hygiene,) By Profs. A. Sanson and L. Trasbot. 
Asselin & Houzeau, Paris. ’ 
The first volume of the dictionary, generally called “ the 
Bouley Dictionary,” was published in 1862, and the work was 
not entirely completed until two or three years ago. During 
these thirty odd years veterinary medicine has made immense 
progress, and, to make that great encyclopedia as valuable as it 
was intended by the first authors, the necessity of a supplemen¬ 
tary part imposed itself. In fact, it was already in project at 
the time of the issue of the first part of the book. 
Profs. A. Sanson and L. Trasbot have undertaken the work, 
and this first volume shows that when it is completed the sup¬ 
plement will be well worthy of the original work. 
The names of the collaborators. Profs. Cadiot, Kaufman, 
Lucet, Neumann, Peuch, Sanson, and Trasbot, are by themselves 
sufficient authorities to prove how valuable the contents of this 
part of the supplement are. 
Covering material included between the letters A and D, most 
interesting articles are’ treated and brought up to date with the 
progress made in science, and among them are those of anti- 
sepsy and asepsy and of criptorchidy, by Cadiot; the diphtheria 
•of fowls, by Ducet; * actinomycosis, botriom^^cosis, cachexia, di- 
astomatosis, by Neumann ; anthrax, by Peuch carcinoma, by 
Trasbot. The largest part of the book is also filled by numer¬ 
ous articles from the pen of Professor Sanson on various subjects 
related to zootechny and treating principally of many of the 
various breeds of horses, cattle, sheep and swine of France and 
Europe. 
There is no doubt that this supplement will prove a most 
important addition to the dictionary of Bouley; but it must be 
hoped that its completion will not demand as long time as the 
original work did.
