NOTICES 



Around the Year in the Garden. By Fred- 

 erick Frye Rockwell. New York City : 

 The Macmillan Company. 

 From the aesthetic and educational stand- 

 point this is a delightful book. Some of the 

 illustrations are especially inspiring. The 

 author makes suggestions for work during 

 each week in the year, and has well ar- 

 ranged his material. The book is really 

 necessary for the amateur gardener. The 

 illustrations alone are well worth having, 

 and the text is pleasing and helpful. 



Hunting Dinosaurs in the Bad Lands of 

 the Red Deer River, Alberta. Lax ah i. 

 By Charles H. Sternberg. Lawrence, 

 Kansas: Charles H. Sternberg. 

 This book is a book of personality. Mr. 

 Sternberg has been a collector for many 

 years, and the results of his work are found 

 in nearly every museum in the country. If 

 any one, standing in the department of fos- 

 sils of any museum, should ask if these dry 

 bones can be made to live, he would have 

 the question answered in the positive by 





reading Air. Sternberg's book. He has as 

 much personality and even as many little 

 idiosyncrasies as Boswell put into his "Life 

 of Samuel Johnson." For a half century 

 Mr. Sternberg has collected fossils. What 

 he tells of his experiences and of the im- 

 pressions received by living in the realm 

 of these extinct and wonderfully strange 

 animals merits the attention of every natur- 

 alist. The price of the book is two dollars 

 postpaid. \\ ■ cordially advise even the oc- 

 casional visitor to a museum to obtain the 

 book and to learn of the life of the fossil 

 hunter and of his relations to his work. 



Our Backdoor Neighbors. By Frank C. Pel- 

 lett. New York City and Cincinnati, Ohio : 

 The Abingdon Press. 

 The author is evidently a naturalist with 

 special enthusiasm for the study of honey- 

 bees. Some of us had begun to think that 

 he is concentrating his attention on honey- 

 bees, but his recent contributions to this 

 magazine and promises of more, and espec- 

 ial!}' the timely appearance of this book,
