Abstract
THE fourth edition of Profs. Bainbridge and Menzies's work differs but little from the previous one; only a few of the sections have been rewritten. As the authors state in the original preface, their object is βto bring together in a concise form the fundamental facts and principles of physiology.β They certainly have succeeded, for they do not waste a word, if we omit the tables inserted in the section on the distribution of the cutaneous sensory nerve-endings. We cannot see that the knowledge of the actual minimal pressure stimuli in various parts of the body is of great importance, and these tables, in our opinion, could have been omitted with no great loss, especially in a volume of this nature.
