Still other short medical papers are those on "The Micrometry of the Human Red-Blood Corpuscles," by Frank Judson Parker; "On Feeding Some Insects with Cultures of Comma or Cholera Bacilli," by R. L. Maddox; "Questions in Regard to the Diphtheria Bacilli," by M. A. Veeder, and "Medical Microscopy," by A. A. Young. There are. of course, the lengthier memoirs on biology and natural history themes with elaborate illustrations. The volume is, on all these accounts, evidently a valuable contribution to scientific-literature.
