Studies in Microscopical Science. Edited by Arthur C. 

 Cole, F.R.M.S. Vol. I., with Fifty Three Lithographic Plates. 

 {London: Bailliere. Tindall^ a fid Cox.) 1883. 



The first volume of these most valuable studies, neatly bound 

 in cloth, is now before us. It consists of 330 pages, including a 

 very copious index. Throughout the entire work, each subject 

 appears to be treated in a very thorough manner ; e.g., we find 

 that each subject is, first, considered Etymologically ; next Des- 

 criptively; the various methods of Preparation are next given; 

 then we have the complete Bibliography of the subject. 



The entire work is divided into two sections, which were deli- 

 vered alternately to weekly subscribers. Section A. is devoted to 

 Animal Histology. Section B. divides its favours between Botany 

 and Petrology. In this section we need not say that Botany takes 

 the chief share of the work. The individual subjects have been 

 so frequently brought before the microscopical world, both in this 

 and other journals, that we feel it unnecessary to repeat them 

 here ; suffice it to say, the plates are, without exception, executed 

 in a very superior style of chromo-lithography, and many of them 

 are of double size. Of the sHdes which accompany these studies, 

 we feel that it would be a waste of words to say more of them 

 than that they are prepared and mounted by Mr. A. C. Cole, of 

 St. Domingo House.

Having completed the first volume of the " Studies " with so 

 much credit, and, we trust, with an equal amount of satisfaction 

 and profit to himself, Mr. Cole has launched out into three very 

 excellent works, in each of which we trust he may meet with 

 the encouragement he so richly deserves. 



Of the Methods of Microscopical Research, the first four 

 parts are to hand, and appear fully fitted to form an Introduction
