This is the second edition of an excellent monograph dealing with all phases of ora pathology. “The Classification of Oral Lesions According to Clinical Features” is a classic. The author, who is well known in the profession, states: “The primary and perhaps the only function of oral pathology is to aid the clinician and, therefore, in the treatment of oral lesions.” In this second edition new information on more than thirty-five oral lesions has been added to the text. It is in a popular size (5 by 8 inches) ; the illustrations have easily readable legends; and, in all, it is representative of the high standards of Dr. Bhaskar. It is an excellent book. T. J. C.
