finished mount. The writer here invites the student to witness the preparation 

 of a typical mount, and in subsequent chapters each stage of the process is 

 taken up in detail and in the order in which they occur in actual work. We 

 have read this book with much interest, and find it contains much valuable 

 information. 



The Fungus-Hunter's Guide and Field Memorandum Book. 



With analytical keys to the Orders and Genera, illustrated, and notes of 

 important species. By W. Delisle Hay, F.R.G.S. Post 8vo, pp. 156. 

 (London : Swan Sonnenschein and Co. rSSy.) Price 3s. 6d. 



The author tells us that when out fungus-hunting he has been in the habit 

 of carrying with him a pocket-l)ook, in which he had noted various memoranda 

 useful for the rapid identification of anything found, and it is from these notes 

 that the present book has grown. It contains analytical tables of the orders 

 and genera, and many illustrations of the various species. It is interleaved 

 with ruled writing-paper, which will be found very convenient to the student.

Through North Wales with My Wife : An Arcadian 

 Tour. By J. Roderick O'FIanagan, B.L. Foolscap 8vo, pp. xv.— 175. Price 



2S. 



Here we have a very pleasant tour pleasantly described. The author tells 

 us at the outset that he is a Roman Catholic, and as all the guide-books hitherto 

 written have been written by Protestants, he has taken a special care to give 

 his co-religionists accurate information, and to describe the Catholic chapels 

 and convents in North Wales in terms which must prove interesting to them. 

 The little book contains a good map of Carnarvonshire and Anglesea. 



Bird's-Eye View of the Thames from London to Oxford.

 tion of all the places passed in the journey by river from London to Oxford. 

 The map, which is divided into 3 sections, each about 56 inches long by 6 

 inches wide, is coloured, and shows not only the many serpentine bends in the 

 river, but includes also a useful map of the country on either side of it.
