Jesse, Edward, Surveyor of His Majesty's Parks, Palaces, &c. : 

 Gleanings in Natural History. Third and Last Series. To 

 which are added, Notices of some of the Royal Parks and 

 Residences. 8vo, 318 pages, 2 engravings. London, 1835.

A work which must, one thinks, induce pleasure to every 

 naturalist who reads it. The chief grounds of its merit to do 

 this are, one deems, these : — The tendency of the views of 

 the author to promote a habit of amiableness of feeling ; the 

 new facts which it may be found that he has related ; his 

 agreeable and cultivated manner of communicating the facts 

 and his views. On the other hand, the arduous technical 

 naturalist will find some subjects of disapprobation in this 

 Series, as in one or both of the previous two : see in VII. 

 338. note *, and VIII. 548. The following is a notable one : — 

 " Earwigs turn to flies. This may easily be ascertained by 

 developing one, after killing it, with a pointed penknife. 

 The swallow-like tail will be discovered to be two terminations 

 of wings." (p. 149.) The statement on the case of any 

 female calf born as one of twins, echoed in p. 59., had been 

 negatived in this Magazine, V. 765.
