MiscELLANEous.—The Journal of the Royal Statistical Society, March (E. Stanford,
69), contains, among other matters, Sir R. Giffen's paper on "The Excess of Imports," a report of the dis- cussion which followed the reading of it, and some observations on the criticisms passed on the paper for which there was no time at the meeting. Another paper deals with "Australasian Rail- ways," and is full of interesting facts ; among them is this that on an expenditure of £126,000,000 there is a net return of £3,700,000. —The Paidologist (Cambray House, Cheltenham, Is. 6d.) is the first number of a new journal which is to be the organ of the "British Child-Study Association." Professor Sully's books, " Studies of Childhood" and "Children's Ways," are types of the literature which is to be here represented. The advantage of a recognised medium for briefer and less formal expressions of thought is evident, and we wish the new venture all success.—We have received A System of Medicine, edited by Thomas Clifford Albutt, M.D., VoL VI. (Mac- millan and Co., 25s. net). This volume deals with "Diseases of the Circulatory System," " Diseases of Muscles," " Diseases of the Nervous System."
