Excerpt from The Journal of Microscopy and Natural Science, Vol. 14: The Journal of the Postal Microscopical Society On glancing through the volume, we cannot but feel a just pride in the variety and general excellence of the many papers and articles it contains. Amongst the important contribu tions, the continuation of the translation of Dr. F. Vicentini's memoir on the Bacteria of the Sputa and Cryptogamic Flora of the Mouth, which is completed in the present part (october), deserves especial mention. Indeed, so well has this memoir been received, that we intend to offer it shortly in book form a preface to the work has been written by Prof. W. D. Miller of Berlin, and Dr. Vicentini has appended a bibliography and other important additions. The continuation of Mr. H. C.
