the castration of males, that of females,—and, to finish, the sur¬ 
gery of the tail. The bibliography which accompanies each 
branch is simply enormous and the references that are given 
show the immense amount of work that’ Prof. Tanzillotti must 
have gone through in preparing it. 
The book is certainly a very valuable addition to Italian 
literature. It is one which veterinarians of all nations will be 
proud to possess and to profit by. The third volume is an¬ 
nounced as being prepared. We have no* doubt that, after 
reading the second, its publication will be anxiously looked 
for. 
Bones of the Extremities of Horsed, with Inscription of the Insertions of 
Muscles, Tendons and Ligaments, with an Atlas of i8 Plates. By Doctor R. 
Schmaltz, of the Veterinary School of Berlin. Published by Richard Schoetz, 
Luisenstrasse, 36. 
This is a truly artistic work, in which the bones of the legs 
are represented half natural size, perfect in detail and of a 
marvellous exactitude. On each bone is carefully and correctly 
outlined the place of ligamentous, tendinous and muscular in¬ 
sertions. There are triplicate plates, giving Latin, German and 
French names, in such a way that the reader can refer to each 
individual without difficulty. It is so handsomely made out 
that students cannot fail to see the profit they can have in 
studying with it their anatomy of the function of locomotion. 
Teachers of anatomy will certainly not fail to see the advan¬ 
tages they can derive from it in their own illustrations. 
Treatise OF Bovine Surgery (Manuel operatoire pour Pespece bovine). By M. J. 
Guittard. 
Though our works on operative surgery cover the general 
principles applicable to manipulation required in bovine sur¬ 
gery, the work of Mr. Guittard recommends itself by much in¬ 
formation of importance which is not found in onr works on 
surgery. The author has had years of practice, he is a close 
observer, and his very large country practice has given him 
many opportunities to overcome difficulties which are not met 
by the practitioner who has at hand all the paraphernalia of the 
operating room. On this account the contents of his manual 
will be of great interest to the young veterinarian who has just 
graduated and is certainly ignorant of the requirements and diffi¬ 
culties of bovine practice in the country. 
The work is divided into five chapters and forms a volume of 
nearly 400 pages, illustrated by 112 plates. Sold by the author 
at Astaffort.
