student, in some measure, into the vast system of animated na- 

 ture. It is the only portable work in our language which af- 

 fords a popular, and, at the same time, a strictly scientific view 

 of the animal kingdom ; and hence it cannot but prove very ac- 

 ceptable to the zoologist commencing his studies, and also to 

 those more advanced, who have not the means of procuring 

 more voluminous and expensive works. 



2. Turner's Elements of Chemistry. In one volume 8vo. 2d Edit. 

 We have carefully examined this new edition of Dr Turner's 

 work. It is much enlarged, and every way so much improved,

 on a novel plan, and can only be well understood by actual 

 examination. Those who feel interested in this delightful de-

 mapseller, London.

 F. L. S., Surgeon to the Forces. No. I. Cork. 



In a former number of this Journal, we expressed a favour- 

 able opinion of Mr Thompson's memoir on the Pentacrinus 

 europeus ; and have now the pleasure of announcing the publi-
