Chapter M: G. concludes that the monkeys, elephants, &c. said by Livy, Valerius

Maximus, Pliny, and others, to have been born of women in their times, and considered as omens of public calamity, were acephala.

8. _New Anatomical Plates._--Messrs. E. W. TYSON and GEORGE SIMPSON are publishing anatomical plates, in London. They are spoken of with approbation. The labours of the latter are designed for the use of painters.

9. _A Manual of Osteology_ has been undertaken by Dr. WEBER, of Bonn, and one volume published.

10. _Soemmering's fine work on the anatomy of the ear_, has been translated into French, and his splendid folio plates copied in lithography.

11. _Does the conjunctiva run over the cornea?_ Messrs. LECOQ, LEBLANC, and ARTUS, state that they have each seen a case in which regular _skin_ and _hair_ were seen, forming a small patch on the cornea of the eye of a quadruped. This is considered as a proof of the existence there of a membrane naturally analogous to the skin; which must, of course, be the conjunctiva. An officer saw another case, in which a hair was seen in the middle of the eye of a horse.--_Bulletin._
