This book is a worthy addition to neurological literature. The text ls readable and the description clear. The diagrams, many of which are in several colours, are excellent and the anatomical illustrations are well reproduced. Many novel dissections have been made for the Purpose and they contribute much to the value of the work. Full ^vantage has been taken of the recent contributions made by neurology 111 all its branches to bring the descriptions in line with modern knowledge. The book is in two sections, commencing with macroscopic anatomy, then proceeding to minute and microscopic anatomy ; there is a long bibliography. The index is full. The author is to be congratulated on the attractive way he has set ?ut the information. While the book is intended primarily for the senior student, it would well repay study by the graduate intending to specialise in scientific and clinical work pertaining to the nervous system.
