The proceedings of these conferences have attracted muchattention, and it is an excellent idea to have published them in so handsome a form for generalcirculation.The first of the series of Contributions fromWalker Museum has recently come from thePress. It is entitled The Vertebrates from thePermian Bone Bed of Vermillion County, Illinois,and is written by E. C. Case, Ph.D., '96.Twenty-nine pages of letter press and five platesmake up a learned and valuable contribution tothe literature of the subject.Dr. Charles J. Chamberlain, Instructor in Botany, has issued a text-book in histology entitledMethods in Plant Histology. In a space of 159pages the author has discussed (1) general methodsand principles of technique, and '(2) presented aseries of forms for the application of the principles and methods. The book is the outgrowthof practical application of the methods here described in courses at the University and in extension work. It will doubtless be found of muchvalue.
