    constitutional causes. Most of us believe this to be extreme teaching; but it should be read, owing to its treat- ment of the subject of degeneracy. Orthodontia, by S. H. Guilford, fourth edition, 1905, has been a favorite intro- duction for many years Malocclusion of the Teeth, by E. H. Angle, seventh edition, 1907, is an exposition of the Angle System, and, like other works published in the last decade, open to criticism because of its exclusive originality of presentation. The works of Knapp, Orthodontia Practically Treated, 1904; of Jackson, Orthodontia and Orthopedia of the Face, 1904; and of Case, Dental Orthopedia, 1908, are treatises of the same group, each volume being a presentation of the author's methods. These remarks, however, are not intended as an index of the relative value of these works, since they contain much that the student cannot afford to ignore. The work by MacDowell, Orthodontia, 1901, concludes the list of American authors. The foreign literature, though not so large, is a creditable showing for a speci^alty as young as orthodontics. In England there is the excellent little volume of essays by Wallace, entitled Irregularities of the Teeth, 1904; and the more pretentious text by Colyer, of the same title, published in 1900. In Germany there is the work of Walkhoff, Die Unregel- mdssigkeiten in den Zahnstellungen und Ihre Behandlung (1891), and the texts by Jung (1906), Pfaff (second edition, 1908), Herbst (1910), and the excellent little manual by Korbitz (second edition, 1911). In France the art is represented by the works of Gaillard (1909), Martinier (1903), and Donogier (1895). Spanish dentists have recently (1909) welcomed a work by Subirana, entitled Anomalies de la Oclusion dentaria y Ortodoncia.
