The journal of morphology—a record of progress

ABSTRACT WE have before us the third and concluding part of the second volume of this excellent publication. It contains five papers (260 pages) with seventeen plates (with one exception

folding ones) and fifty-four woodcuts. The illustrations are most admirable, and the plates, which bear the magic names of Werner and Winter, possess an exceptional charm. While all familiar

with this Journal must admit that it has, from the first, taken high rank among its contemporaries, few will have been prepared for the magnificent display of the part now under review.

With respect to its get up, the editors may well-nigh defy competition, so liberally have the publishers responded to their demands. Much that is proffered is truly American, in its

revolutionary and highly sensational character; but, contrary to that which so often prevails, the startling deduction is based upon a solid foundation of fact, whereby the thing becomes

tolerable, and the reader's attention is arrested. A refreshing thoroughness permeates the whole, and the work teems with originality. The senior editor and Dr. W. Patten each

contribute a short paper embodying “facts and conclusions…. stated in advance,” of papers to be published in full in forthcoming numbers of the Journal. It is in connection with these that

the revolutionary element to which we have alluded is most marked; and the reader is worked into a tremor of enthusiasm by the following among other declarations:— Access through your
