BIBLIOGRAPHY. 
We anticipate a valuable addition to equine pathology from 
our knowledge of the ability and experience of the author, who 
is in every way qualified for such an undertaking. 
He announces also that the void which has so long existed 
in the absence of a treatise upon veterinary prescription writing 
is to be filled, as he has in preparation a small work upon this 
subject, which will include original prescriptions from the most 
prominent practitioners of the country. 
Veterinary Ophthalmoscopy (Precis d’ophthalmologie veterinairec By T. Nicolas 
and C. Fromayet. i vol. 8vo. 200 pages. With 9 colored plates and 25 figures. 
Published by J. B. Bailliere et fils, Paris. 
The object of this work is to spread among veterinarians 
most useful information for the diagnosis of diseases of the eye. 
The clinical examination of the fundus oculi reveals not only 
many ocular affections but also some cerebral, renal, vascular 
diseases, as well as some general disturbances of nutrition, etc.; 
it constitutes, then, one of the principal methods of clinical ex¬ 
ploration. 
The atlas has been specially made for the practitioner ; the 
plates drawn from nature are remarkably exact and their repro¬ 
duction in colors most perfect. 
The book is written by two physicians, one of whom is also 
a veterinarian, and both well qualified for the undertaking ; it 
is divided into five chapters : i. Anatomy of the globe. 2. 
Generalities on refraction. 3. Methods of exploration of the 
eye. 4. Normal condition of the fundus in the horse, ass, mule, 
cattle, sheep, goat, cat and dog. 5. Pathological conditions of 
the fundus, vitreous humor, optic nerve, retina, choroid. 
Treatise on Technic and Theraprutic Surgery of Domestic Animals (Trattato 
di tecnica e terapeutica chirurgica generale e speciale degli animali domestici). 
]]y Dr. N Lanzillotti-Buonsanti, Director of the Milan Veterinary School. Fratelli 
Bocca, Editor!, Milan. 
Some years ago the first volume of this most complete work 
was issued. The second volume has just been published. It is 
certainly for the present the most thorough work of its kind in 
the Italian language. Forming a book of over 1000 pages, it 
contains no less than 528 woodcuts, and treats of the surgery of 
the head and trunk. The entire work is divided into two parts. 
In the first the entire surgery of the cranium, of the face, ears, 
guttural pouches, eyes, mouth, nasal cavities and salivary glands 
is minutely described. In the second the surgery of the neck, 
larynx, trachea, oesophagus, thorax, abdominal organs, receive 
also their deserved attention ; and then come the various forms 
of hernias, the operations upon the genital and urinary organs^
