Bennett, of Edinburgh. He excludes from the orders Exanthemata and Pustules the diseases characterized by excessive fever, as being essentially febrile. From the or- der Vesicula he also removes miliaria and vari- cella, for a similar reason ; and he expunges the order Bulla altogether. With some other alter- ations, consisting chiefly of reductions of genera to the rank of species, he assigns the following as his classification of skin-affections. It will be seen that it is a modification, with several omis- sions, of the arrangement generally adopted of diseases of the skin ; while in that which I have given above, I have comprised also the principal of those maladies which generally also affect or implicate the skin in a more or less obvious man- ner: Okd. vi.
