136 NATURAL SCIENCE [August 



C. F. Gordon-dimming ; " At a Japanese Barber's," by F. A. Bather ; 

 and an interesting account of " The Community in Cocos-Keeling and 

 Christmas Islands," abstracted from a Blue-book. There is a list of 

 recent books and magazine articles dealing with the far East. The 

 Eeviews and Notes would be better for more exactness of reference, 

 and prices of books should be given. Anthropologists will find in 

 this excellently printed journal many an item to interest them.
