familiar, as of these we can speak definitely. This does not by any means indicate that other books receiving merely cursory notice or even none at all are unsatisfactory, as they may be in all ways excellent. It merely means that this is the opinion of the editor, made with the assistance of a number of consultants, and like all other opinions may be subject to much change as other data accumulate. We sincerely regret our inability to include in our list the publications of William Wood & Co, and the F. A. Davis Co., as they have doubtless produced as excellent a series during the past years as has been their custom for other previous ones. As vet. however, no information has been received in answer to our inquiries, by means of which they can be represented. The principal books of the year, as far as they have been brought to our attention, are given in the following classified list, accompanied by occasional note or comment. ANATOMY AND PATHOLOGY..
