840 AMERICAN JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGY OCTOBER, 1971

follows, covering the cranial nerves, neuro-ophthalmology, motor function, a sensory examination, mental, language and auto-nomic functions. Of further interest are di­agnostic techniques involving the ancillary specialties such as neuroradiology, electro-cncephalography, electromyography, and spinal fluid examination.

The section on neuro-ophthalmology is probably of less interest to the ophthalmolo­gist, who will likely derive such information from specialized ophthalmic texts. However, the neurologic examination is so clearly and concisely explained that this volume will be a worthwhile guide to the ophthalmologist.

STEREOSCOPIC ATLAS OF CLINICAL O P H ­THALMOLOGY OF DOMESTIC ANIMALS. By H. E. Jensen. St. Louis, C. V. Mosby, 1971. Clothbound, 201 pages, table of con­tents, index, 187 figures, 16 viewing reels and viewer, $49.50. Veterinary ophthalmology has grown tre­

mendously in this country. A year ago, the American Society of Veterinary Ophthal­mology spawned the College of Veterinary Ophthalmology. It is anticipated that in the near future examinations will be made avail­able for certification of veterinary ophthal­mologists.

Dr. Jensen has thus written a timely and much needed atlas. Using the Donaldson ste­reo camera, the atlas has been heavily anno­tated with color View-Master stereoscopic photographs. The Mosby publishers have combined text material and stereo photo­graphs in a complementary and easy to use fashion. The text begins with a chapter on instrumentation. It is evident that special in­struments have not been designed for animal examination. Instead, the standard tools and methods are employed. The body of the book consists of a discussion of various disease entities organized into chapters on the basis

of their location. The index is complete and contains the View-Master reel numbers to further facilitate use of the very fine color stereo photographs.

In the preface the author states that his is strictly a clinical approach and thus refer­ences to the available literature have been omitted. In point of fact, only Magrane's textbook of canine ophthalmology is given as a reference to the considerable ophthalmic veterinary literature. It is difficult to take such a position and not be criticized. We do, however, see post-therapeutic photographs which attest to the success of the author's therapeutic regimen. The descriptions and photographs of the diseases have been aug­mented by only five photomicrographs show­ing the histology. It must be remembered, however, that animal autopsy material may be as difficult to obtain as human material.

There are two outstanding chapters. The author's descriptions of corneal disease and of the many types of lens opacities are supe­rior. The book clearly and concisely conveys one practitioners's vast clinical experience in veterinary ophthalmology. It is a valuable reference for the veterinarian with a busy practice.

ADVANCE IN KERATOPLASTY. Edited by Na­thaniel R. Bronson II and R. Townley Pa-ton. Boston, Little Brown and Company, 1970. Clothbound, 268 pages, table of con­tents, index, 89 black and white figures. $25.00 The summer, 1970, issue of the Interna­

tional Ophthalmology Clinics deals with a course given in Southhampton. Its availabil­ity constitutes a sound lesson in the economy of subscribing to this series rather than pur­chasing an issue once it has proven its value.

Despite the title, the book deals with far more than keratoplasty. Dohlman, Lemp, and English describe the dry eye syndrome
