In the opening paragraph of this paper, published last week, the author stated' concerning Mr. Arthur Durham's paper, which it criticises, “The greater part of the article consists of a translation of certain portions of Planchon's Faits Cliniques de Laryngotomie.” Mr. Durham has forwarded to us a copy of Planchon's monograph. The only thing which we can find to explain Dr. Mackenzie's statement is, that a number of the cases quoted in Planchon are also quoted (with a proper double reference) by Mr. Durham—not in his paper, but in the appendix to it. Herein Mr. Durham acted loyally and justly; and Dr. Mackenzie's observation, which may easily be read to imply an opposite meaning, is, we think, unnecessary, and particularly unfortunate in its wording.
