13 4 The Ottawa Naturalist. [Oct 



Carruthers, the eminent British botanist. We are very glad 

 indeed to welcome both of the above gentlemen to Ottawa. 

 The Ottawa Field-NaturaHsts' Club will doubtless receive much 

 benefit from their presence. 



In the removal of the Rev. G. Eifrig from Ottawa to 

 Addison, 111., the Club has lost from the ranks of its active 

 members a most valued officer and leader. From almost the 

 first day he came Mr. Eifrig took a deep interest in the work of 

 the Club. As an ornithologist of recognized standing, he was 

 a welcome addition to our Society, and during his stay with us 

 he did splendid work in encouraging the study of local birds. 

 His papers in the Ottawa Naturalist have given much 

 pleasure to our readers and we shall certainly miss his kindly 

 face and interesting talks at our excursions in the field, and at 

 our meetings during the winter months. He has been a faithful 

 member of the Council of the Club, being at the present time 

 the 2nd Vice-President and Chairman of the Excursions Com- 

 mittee. As a true and enthusiastic student of bird- life his de- 

 parture will be keenly felt by many members who followed him 

 at our outings. Mr. Eifrig left Ottawa on September 27th to take 

 up his new work at the College of the Lutheran Church at 

 Addison, 111. As Professor of Ecclesiastical and Secular History, 

 his best thoughts will be directed along Hnes of favourite studies. 

 It is also probable that he will teach Natural History. The 

 Addison College is the principal one of its kind of the Lutheran 

 Church in the United States. We extend to Mr. Eifrig our con- 

 gratulations on this further recognition of his ability, and at 

 the same time wish him continued success and happiness in his 

 new field of labor. We hope to publish in our pages many more 

 of his interesting papers. 



BOOK REVIEW. 



Hygiene for Young People. A Reader for Pupils in Form 

 III of the Public Schools. By Professor A. P. Knight, 

 M.A., M.D., Queen's University, Kingston. 8vo., pp. 211. 

 Toronto: Thel:opp-Clark Co. 



It was a happy suggestion which prompted the gifted 

 Professor of Physiology in Queen's University, Kingston, Dr. 

 A. P. Knight, to prepare the handsome elementary guide to 

 health, "Hygiene for Young People," just issued in Toronto, 

 under the recommendation of the Ontario Minister of Educa- 

 tion. It is published as a reader for Public School use and for 

 School Libraries, and no book could be more admirably adapted 

 for both purposes. As a Birthday of Christmas Gift-book it 

 would be valued by any thoughtful boy or girl. A more attrac- 

 tive and fascinating little work could not be imagined, and it is
