Photograph in the ULTRA-VIOLET M<ade with the N EW B & L GLAiSS OP7ICS
BAUSCII & LOMB ann3ullees the developinent of an optical system and method* which per-
mits photomicrographs to be made in the ultra- violet with the same ease and facility as with ordi- nary photomicrographic apparatus. This enables microscopists to take advantage of the superior resolution obtained with wave-lengths under 450m,u without the difficulty and expense of methods in previous use. The Bausch & Lomb Method uses the 365m,u wave-length which gives an increase in resolution from 12 to 19% over that of the best objectives using visible light. The light source is a mercury are lamp with filters. No spectrographic outfit 'is necessary and a glass optical system is used in- stead of expensive quartz. Focusing is very simple for the special objectives are designed to bring together wave-lengths of 546 and 365m,u that is, achromatism has been ac- complished for one wave-length in the visible and for one wave-length in the invisible spectrum. Thus, visual examination is possible by using a
mercury green filter. After the focus has beeui determined, the k 365m,u filter is substituted and the exposure made. The result is a perfectly sharp picture of the object which reveals detail invisible to the eye. The use of the X 365m,u line gives resolution ap- proaching that of 275mt. A mercury are lamp with a U-V Filter is sufficient for the isolation of the X 365m,u line since the wave-lengths between X 398m,u and k339m[t are so weak in intensity, except for the doublets of X 365m,u and X 366mt that they can be completely ignored. q'his method because o f selective absorption of k 365mn, by proteins reveals details to the observer unobtainable by staining or any other method. Its use likewise enables an increase in depth to be ob- tained by reduction of the aperture. Write for complete details.

Sixth edition, thoroughly revised. Octavo, 470 pages, illtstrated with 174 engrayvings and 4 colored plates. Cloth, $4.00, net.
Ill this sixth edition the author has completely revised and largely rewritten the text. This well- known and widely adopted text-book of general biology for college courses gives a general recapitula- tion of the subject while avoiding too technical considerations.
THE ESSENTIALS OF HISTOLOGY Descriptive and Practic(al. For the Use of Sttdents
BY SIR EDWARD SHARPEY SCHXPER, F.R.S. Professor of Physiology in the University of Edinburgh
Twelfth editi-oni, Ihorouighly revised. Octavo, 628 pages, illustrated with 758 engravings, anaivy in colors. Cloth, $5.00, niet
Again this classic text has been revised. The book has been enlarged by over fifty pages and there are nearly forty new illustrations, some of them colored plates. In preparing the twelfth edition the dis- tinguished author has had the assistance of Dr. H. M. Carleton, Lecturer in Histology in the University of Oxford. This collaboration of two eminent scientists assures a painstaking and thorough revision. An Appendix covering the details of histological methods is an invaluable aid to the histologist and the technician.
COLLEGE BOTANY With Special Reference to Liberal Edtcation
BY GiRoi, B. RIGG, PH.D. Professor of Botany in the University of Washington, Seattle, Washington
12mro, 442 pa-ges, Tllustrated with 157 engravi1igs. Cloth, $4.00, net
This book is written in the conviction that a general course in botany should be related to liberal education rather than to the training of future botanists or as a part of a service course in some ap- plied science. It stresses the scientifie method and the functional viewpoint, relating plants to their en- vironment and to human welfare. Familiar plants and simple direct methods are introduced, and the book is written bn simple and familiar language, avoiding technicalities when they are not useful.
TEXTBOOK OF ECONOMIC ZOOLOGY BY Z. P. METCALF, D.Sc.
Professor of Zoology, North Carolina State College Octavo, 392 pages, illustrated with 237 engravings. Cloth, $4.00, net
This textbook furnishes material for teaching the fundamental principles of zoology from the eco- nomic standpoint. It begins its discussion with the more familiar forms of animal life and leaves the least familiar until the last, thus proceeding from the known to the unknown. Throughout, stress has beeni placed on economic importance and the various phases of natural history rather than morphology.

The Science Press Printing Company has been established and equipped for printing scientific literature in the best way, with compositors, pressmen and proof-readers trained for technical work. It is a business corporation but it has been founded to provide facilities essential for the advancement of science.
The corporation owns its building at Lancaster, Pennsylvania. It has the best obtainable presses, composing machinery and binding equipment. What is more important, it has the most competent pressmen and compositors in a city whieh, since "Science" was first printed there in 1894, has become a center for fine scientific printing. The costs are -much less than in the large cities.
The press prints 'The Scientific Monthly," 'Science," 'School and Society," 'The American Naturalist" and some twenty other scientific journals and publications. The typog- raphy and presswork of these journals will bear comparison with any weekly or monthly publication, although, for example, "IScience" must be printed mostly in one day in an edition of over 14,000. "The Biographical Directory of American Men of Science" and "The Bio- graphical Directory of Leaders in Education" are examples of the work of the press. It can, to special advantage, print scientific books, monographs and doctorate dissertations.
Samples of work and estimates of costs will be supplied on application.

MARINE BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY Woods Hole, Massachusetts, U. S. A.
EW teachers realize the expense which is involved in collecting and preparing marine animals. Many, we are sure, think that all one has to do is walk along the beach, pick up the animals and throw
them into formaldehyde. Nothing is further from the truth. The whole collecting region must be carefully explored to find sources for the various forms and it is at times necessary to take long trips to secure them. To do this exploring and collecting, it is necessary to use boats costing several thousand dollars. These must be provided with pumps so that the speci- mens may be kept in running sea-water while on shipboard. When they are brought to the laboratory, it is necessary to put many of the forms through long and complicated processes to properly narcotize, expand, and preserve them. The pumps and tanks necessary to supply the labora- tory with running sea-water are very expensive and far beyond the means of the individual who is trying to collect without equipment.
The Supply Department of the Marine Biological Laboratory is, with- out doubt, the best equipped marine collecting station in the United States, if not in the world. Its collecting equipment consisting of boats, fish traps, seines, dredges, tangles, and laboratory facilities are of the very best and represent a large investment. Its staff of collectors and preparators has had many years of experience. These are the factors which enter into the collection and preparation of marine specimens and they explain in a large measure the uniformly good quality of the preserved material furnished by the Supply Department.

FROM AN ADVANCED STANDPOINT Translated from the third German edition by
E. R. HEDRICK and C. A. NOBLE of the University of California
This book, which is the essence of Professor Klein 's life-time of effort toward improving the teaching of mathematics, both as to the material which should be taught and the way in which it should be presented, embodies his ambition to present mathematics as an integrated, living organism. From the vantage point of his own extended knowledge he scrutinized the content and method of three branches of elementary mathematies- arithmetic, algebra, and analyties, and penetrated to the depths below their surface mean- ing. All teachers of these subjects, all students of higher mathematics will find this book stimulating, suggestive, fascinating.

Harris Hancock's FOUNDATIONS OF THE THEORY
OF ALGEBRAIC NUMBERS Volume II
In Volume I of this important series, which introduces the mathematician to a vast and almost untouched branch, the Dedekind theory of moduls was developed in detail and the theory of ideals was introduced and studied for the simpler cases of the quadratic and cubic realms. The present volume firmly establishes upon the Dedekind moduls the ideal theory in the general realms of the nth degree, and makes further reference to the Kronecker modular systems. The work of Hurwitz is summarized. The theory of units is presented. The author introduces the theory of order-moduls, the ideal theory in the relative realms of Hilbert, the Class-realms only recently developed by Takagi and Artin, the sub-realms and super-realms. A chapter is devoted to the Galois groups. L Volume I, $8.00 Volume II, published in December A
