This list of text and reference books relating- to nursing and its allied •subjects has been ])repared for tlie purpose of assisting instructors in -electing books for students and for the training school library. A num- ber of the books listed, with annotations, have, by permission, been taken from a list compiled by the Department of Nursing and Health, Teachers College, New York. Others have been annotated by specialists on the different subjects. The more recent nursing books are listed and annotated, making the li>t, as nearly as ])ossible, up to date. A list of lepresentative jieriodicals is appended for readers who desire to keep in touch with current literature by means of book reviews outlined in these periodical-. \\'hile introduced as an aid in selecting texts and books for nurses' libraries, it is hoped this bulletin will be of service to graduate nurses, special workers, and also to nursing organizations. Annotated List of Text and Reference Books for Training: Schools for Nurses. I. ANATOMY, PHYSIOLOGY AND HISTOLOGY. 1. Textbooks in Anatomy and Physiology. KiMBER, Diana C. (Revised by Gray, CaroliniC E.) Textbook of Anatomy and Physiology for Nurses. Macmillan, 3d cd., 1910. $2.50. Miss Kimber's book is recognized as a standard textbook for use in training schools for nurses. .Written by a nurse and recently revised by a teacher of nurses, it seems to be more nearly adapted to the special needs of the training school than any other book at present available. Lewis, LeRoy. Anatomy and Physiology for Nurses. Saunders, 2d cd., 1910. 344 pp. $1.75. This text, like the first mentioned one, suggests the general type of books prepared for the use of medical students. While aiming to eliminate unneces- sary material, there still remain lists of Latin terms and technical phrases which are of no special value to nurses. Pope, Amy E. Anatomy and Physiology. Putnam's Sons, 1913, 2d ed., 1916. $1.75. The raison d'etre for the Anatomy and Physiology was to provide a textbook containing more description of essential physiological processes, though no larger than the books of anatomy in general use. To accomplish this, some details of anatomy usually included in nurses' textbooks, though unimportant for nurses to know, were omitted, the space thus gained being utilized for information of greater importance to those for whom the book was intended. 2. Elementary Textbooks in Physiology and General Biology. BiGEEOw, Maurice A. and Anna N. Applied Biology. Macmillan, 1911. $1.35. This book is intended as a textbook and laboratory guide in high school botany, zoology and human biology. Such a comprehensive view of the science of life should of course precede the more specialized study of human anatomy and physiology, but where this is impossible the regular textbook could be supplemented by readings and parallel study in such a book as this to get the broad biolpgical point of view. The chapter on "Evolution and Heredity" and the sections dealing with reproduction and embryology will be of very particular interest and value to nurses, as will also the chapter on spore-plants, which deals with molds, yeasts and bacteria. ITouGH, T. LI., and Sedgwick, Wm. T. The Human Mechanism. Ginn, 1908, 564 pp. $2.00. An excellent and very reliable textbook of high school or college grade. It could precede the ordinary textbooks on anatomy and physiology with advantage or could be used as a supplementary text with such a book as Kimber. The section devoted to personal and public hygiene and sanitation is sound and fairly comprehensive and would serve excellently as a basis for the preliminary work in bacteriology and hygiene given in training schools. 6 TEXT AND REFERENCE BOOKS. Hunter, George W. A Civic Biology. American Book Co., 1914. 416 pp. $1.25. Covers a course in biology for secondary schools.

That nurses may have a proper understanding of fundamental principles underlying much of their work in cleaning, cooking, disinfecting, etc., it is necessary to have a knowledge of chemistry. The work contains many important applications of the chemical and physical processes described in disinfection, cleaning, cooking and other processes necessary for nurses to know. It further explains the important chemical and physical processes constantly referred to in physiology, materia medica and other studies included in the school of nursing curriculum.
