    3. Rieder’s “Beitrage zur Kenntniss der Leukocytosis,” Leipzig, 1892 (Yogel), 220 pages, is an admirable work in all respects, although now consid¬ erably out of date. It shows, as very few of the foregoing treatises do, a practical acquaintance, on the author’s part, with the details of blood mor¬ phology and microchemistry. A very large number of blood counts in many diseases are recorded. 4. Lowitt’s “.Studien zur Physiol, und Pathol, des Blutes u. der Lymphe ” (Jena, 1892 [Fisher], 8vo, 138 pages) is mostly concerned with experiments on animals and intended to throw light on the theory of leucocytosis. The con¬ clusions of the book have not been generally adopted, though its facts have been mostly verified. 5. Thayer and Hewetson’s book, on the “Malarial Fevers of Baltimore,” leaves nothing more to be desired in that direction. It is two hundred and fifteen pages long, published by the Johns Hopkins press of Baltimore in 1895. It contains a summary of the literature of the subject, an analysis of six hun¬ dred and sixteen new cases, and some admirable colored plates. It is a model of its kind in every respect, and an ideal for others to aim for. Essentially the same material is reorganized in Thayer’s “ Lectures on the Malarial Fevers, ” New York, 1899, Appleton. 6. Ehrlich’s “ Farbenanalytische Untersuchungen ” (Berlin, 1891 [Hirsch- wald], 137 pages) contains nine short essays by Ehrlich and three by his pu¬ pils. Considering the reputation of the writer they are at the present day rather disappointing reading, and contain little that is pot better expressed elsewhere. 7. Weiss’s “ Haematologische Untersuchungen” (Wien, 1896 [Proeliaska] 112 pages, 8vo) contains many valuable studies on various points. Magazine Articles of Special Value. 1.
