![Piersol Anatomical Charts Selected from Piersol’s Anatomy by a committee of eminent American Anatomists 50 charts each hand colored, 2714 x 35% inches, leadered, lettered and mounted on substantial binders’ board, supplied in wooden case, £31.10.0 net. have had numerous requests for suitable anatomical teaching charts, reproduced from the water-color drawings of original dissections which were made directly from the cadaver exclusively for this Anatomy. After extended experimentation together with the advice of a committee of prominent American anatomists, and the investment of a very large sum the publishers announce a series of fifty charts which far exceed in accuracy and beauty any now available. Every muscle, nerve, vein, artery, organ or part shown is beautifully, accurately and artistically colored by hand. In order to meet the requirements of medical colleges and training schools the price has been made exceedingly low, sold in sets of fifty at 12/6 net per chart. A circular cannot adequately convey a complete conception of the beauty and value of the offering the publishers make and arrangements have been made to send sets prepaid to prospective purchasers for ten days’ inspection, subject to return, at the publisher’s expense, if not found satisfactory. Many have availed themselves of this offer and the only comment has been one of approval and amazement at such value for the price charged. Villiger Brain and Spinal Cord A Guide for the Study of the Morphology and the Fibre-Tracts. By EMIL VILLIGER, M.D., Of the University of Basil. Translated from the Second German Edition, with additions. By GEORGE A. PIERSOL, M.D., Sc.D., Of the University of Pennsylvania. Octavo. 288 pages. 224 illustrations, many in colors. ¢ Cloth, 16/- net. EACHERS acquainted with this excellent little book, the first edition of which appeared | in 1905, will welcome an English translation of the second German edition, for no more lucid, concise and up-to-date synopsis of the anatomy of the central nervous system can be placed in the hands of the student, or indeed, of any one desirous of obtaining a clear conception of this important subject. The features of brevity and, at the same time, completeness, so conspicuous in the earlier edition, have been retained, the changes in the present edition being chiefly the introduction of supplementary diagrams explanatory of the text and the addition of a most instructive series of 47 full-page drawings, illustrating the cross-section anatomy of the brain-stem, from the lower part of the medulla oblongata to the corpus callosum. These drawings are so accurate and so fully described by lettering and legends, that they constitute a most useful key in identifying the details presented by actual sections under the microscope. The book is divided into three sections: Part I. being de- voted to a concise description of the morphology of the brain and spinal cord; Part II. pre- senting the important but difficult subject of the fibre-tracts with unusual clearness, while conditions, with their anatomical ahd physiological explanations, lend additional interest and value to the text. The translator has added a bibliographical list, including the more important contribu- tions to the anatomy of the central nervous system, to which the student may be referred for special or more detailed information.
