While the plan has not been changed, changes have been made thruout. New items have been added, many sections have been wholly recast, and two new chapters have been inserted. In these various ways has the essential progress of the intervening years been recorded. The new chapters are, "Some Cytological Methods," and "Drawing." Each of these adds distinctly to the value of the book to the student and teacher. The chapter on drawing fills a very real need in our histological laboratories. The book is sure to con- tinue one of the most useful in existence to teachers and students in zoological laboratories.

AN INTRODUCTION TO NEUROL.OGY

Under this title Professor HIerrick has issued a book (lesigne(l to enable the studlent to organize his conceptions of the regional differentiation of the nervous system in man, and to relate to this the functional diversity, and to do this from the beginning. In other words this treatise summarizes the facts and relations which will satisfactorily introduce the reader to the necessary foundations of neurology without all the complexity of detail presented in the elaborate manuals of the subject. This fact makes the book pecul- iarly valuable to students of medicine, psychology, hygiene especially of nervous processes, education, sociology, general zoology, phys- iology,-not only as furnishing an undergraduate course in neurol- ogy preliminary and introductory to these, but as an aid and sup- plement to such undergraduate studies and to the general student. In the opinion of the reviewer the author has done a real service to the teacher and student who needs a simplified yet consistent statement of the facts and principles of neurology.

Chapters I to VII discuss the more general neurological top- ics,-as nervous functions in the large, the neuron, reflex circuits, receptors and effectors, the anatomy and functions of the nervous apparatus. Chapters VIII to XVIII present an analysis of the chief subdivisions of the nervous system, including the organs of reception, and the functions of these various parts. The conclud-

ing chapters, XIX to XXI, discuss in greater detail the structure, the localization of function, and the evolution of the cerebral cortex.

A very elaborate index, in which many terms are defined as well as paged, concludes the book. This index is one of the most adequate and effective which the author recalls in a book of this size.
