Hsh a system of central administrative con- 

 trol which does not destroy local autonomy, 

 but which secures efficient administration 

 while not encroaching upon those ideas and 

 principles for which Anglican institutions 

 have so long been prized. 



Papers and notes on The Genesis and Ma- 

 trix of the Diamond (Longmans, Green & 

 Co.), by Prof. H. V. Lewis, is a technical ac- 

 count of the geological formation in which 

 the Kimberley and adjacent diamonds occur. 

 The basis of the work was two lectures, de- 

 livered before the British Association in 

 1886 and 1887. They have been deemed of 

 enough importance to deserve permanency, 

 and, under the editorship of Prof. T. G. Bon- 

 ney, have been combined with some isolated 

 notes on the occurrence of diamonds else- 

 where into the present volume. There are 

 thirty-five illustrations. 



In Sex Worship (published by the author, 

 Clifford Howard) we have an attempt to 



treat this rather difficult topic in a popular 

 way. Up to this time, as the author says, 

 the subject has been confined to a small class 

 of scholars and investigators, whose works 

 are difficult to obtain, both because of their 

 rarity and costliness. The present volume 

 has no value to the scholar because of its 

 superficiality, and is, we think, little suited to 

 general circulation because of its subject. 



No. 6 of the Field Columbian Museum 

 Zoological Series is a List of Mammals from 

 Somali Land, obtained by the museum's East 

 African expedition. There are about fifty 

 pages of text and twenty-five full-page plates. 

 The material has been arranged by the cura- 

 tor of the museum, D. G. Elliot. The ex- 

 pedition was a much-needed one, and because 

 of the rapid disappearance of the large wild 

 game in Africa and the information and 

 specimens obtained will in a very few years 

 be the only means of studying many of these 

 animals.
