Ginn & Co., 1893, 179 pages, illustrated. Price sixty cents. 
As inall her other books, Miss Newell has succeeded in mak- 
ing a very attractive little volume, without sacrificing scientific 
accuracy or methods. In fact we venture to think that some of 
the statements quoted from Miss Buckley’s Short History of Nat- 
ural Science would have been better made by the author, or 
omitted. 
To those who have not had the time nor patience to study 
Darwin’s and Miiller’s work on the Fertilization of Flowers by 
insects, and are not acquainted with Sprengel’s, these chapters 
will serve as a pleasant introduction, and prove an incentive to 
further observation and study. The illustrations are all good, and 
the scientific names are given in nearly all cases.
