1895. SOME NEW BOOKS. 359 



Zyzyginm, and the " Addenda et emendanda graviora hactenus 

 notata." There are also two title-pages, one for vol. i. and one for 

 vol. ii., each bearing the date of 1895. Now, as fasciculi i and 2 

 came out in 1893, ^^'^ fasciculus 3 in 1894, we cannot beheve that a 

 bibliographer of such reputation as Mr. Jackson could permit such a 

 falsification by his publishers. We hope that in rebinding the book 

 these new title-pages will be left at the end, and the proper title-pages 

 kept in their proper positions. The preface also strikes us as not 

 entirely consonant with the facts ; it reiterates the statement that 

 the work has been " carried out at the Herbarium of the Royal 

 Gardens, Kew, with the aid of the staff of that estabhshment." We 

 should be tired of hearing this, even if it were the whole truth. 



We heartily congratulate Mr. Jackson and his staff on the accom- 

 plishment of their work, a work not only a monument of labour, but 

 one so valuable as to be beyond price.

 The annual subscription is fixed at fifteen shillings. Similar 

 arrangements are nearly completed for a " Bibliographia Anatomica." 

 These fortnightly pubhcations are not intended to supplant existing 

 Records, " The Zoological " or others, merely to furnish them with 

 raw material ready sorted. 



That excellent journal called Insect Life, published by the Agricultural 

 Department of the United States, has been discontinued. The 

 American Naturalist in an outspoken note on the matter, comments 

 severely on this false economy on the part of an administration which 

 has up to the present time taken the lead in economic entomology. 

 The investigation into the lives of noxious insects is one of the most 

 important that a Government can undertake, as it concerns the 

 immediate welfare of thousands, and its neglect may lead to serious 

 disaster. 



We have received the first two parts of The West Indian Home 

 Builder, " a monthly magazine, devoted to the interests of West Indian

Messrs. Cassell send us the first part, price 6d., of a new 

 monthly issue of Sir Robert Ball's " Story of the Heavens." With 

 this part is presented a clear chart of the northern constellations. 

 The edition, which will be completed in eighteen parts, is said to be 

 revised.
