as 1959. This long gap is explained by the extensive revision and pruning of the book in bringing it up to date. The authors have been able to condense a considerable amount of clinical information into a comparatively small volume. The diseases of the eye and adnexa are considered in detail, with their treatment, and the essential features of anatomy and physiology are also included. Unfortunately, there are many mistakes in the crossreferences to figures, e.g. on page 146 the reader is referred to Fig. 299 for an undine, while, in fact, this figure is that of a Maddox rod. Also, Plate XXIII is not labelled, making it incomprehensible to an undergraduate. This is perhaps minor criticism of a practical book which is read the world over by medical students and practising ophthalmologists. It can be recommended for D.O. students, and those sitting for the Fellowship will find it useful as a short survey of the subject.
