AB This book, originating as it does from the famous Rotunda Hospital, should be of practical value to nurses, though it is primarily intended for midwives. As usual, in books of this kind, the opening chapters deal with the anatomy of the pelvis and the physiology of pregnancy. The remainder of the book is devoted to the management of labor, normal and abnormal, the complications and sequelæ likely to be encountered, infant feeding and the care of the infant. The rules and regulations of the Central Midwives Board form an appendix. On the whole, the book is a disappointment and some of the teaching is far from commendable.
