and Alt iic Series (abbreviated: UAS) will be discussed. (Indiana University Bloomington, & Mouton & Co,, The Hague). .tVlERI LEHTINEN,Basic Course in Finnish. UAS, Vol. 27, 1963. X X X I I I + 657 pp. Price: $15.00. This is such a detailed textbook of Finnish that hardly any additions or adjustments are feasible. There are m a n y exercises, the answers l o which are given on the same page. The same kind of dedicati,, a and industry is expected from the student as was shown by the ~ ,~thor when preparing this book. It serves as an additional proof of Finnish thoroughness, this time provided by an American Finnish scholar. KALM£N KERESZTES, Morphemic and Semantic Analysis o]

Some consideration should be given also to synonymous expressions and to the 'semantic fields' involved. ROBERT T. HARMS, Finnish Structural Sketch. UAS, Vol. 42, 1964. XIV + 105 pp. Price $ 3.00.

This being the first essay of its kind, differing interpretations ~re well feasible. The inclusion of some colloquial features is new. The selection of the latter should be based on a systematic treatment o5 colloquial Finlfish; unfortunately such a work does not seem to exist in plint. K2~ROLY R~DEI, Northern Ostyak Chrestomathy UAS, Vol. 47, 1965. VII + 132 pp. Price: $ 3.00. This is the extended translation of the author's 'Ostzj~k nyelvtanulmAnyok (Muzsi nyelvjAi~s)', published in Nyelvtudomdnyi K6:zlem~nyek LXIII, and as Nyelvtudomdnyi l~rtekez~sek 31, Budapest, 1961. Bibliography and texts have been added, but one glossary of Northern Ostyak, including all the variants occurring in the text,
