Introduction to the Siudv of the Dlatomace.e. By 

 F. W. Mills, F.R.M.S. ; with a Bibliography by Julien Deby, F.R.M.S. 

 8vo, pp. xi. — 243. (London: Iliffe and Son. 1^93-) Price 12s. 



The author describes the Structure and Movement of Diatoms ; their Clas- 

 sification, with a conspectus of the families and genera ; modes of reproduc- 

 tion ; collecting and mounting diatoms ; the microscopical examination of 

 diatoms ; how to photograph diatoms ; and a bibliography relating to diato- 

 mology. 



The work is handsomely got up, but we regret to notice a great number of 

 typographical errors, which we trust will be corrected in a second edition. 



A Dictionary of Birds. By Alfred Newton, assisted by 

 Hans Gadow. Part I. 8vo, pp. viii.— 304. (London : A. and C. Black. 1893.) 

 Price 7s. 6d. net. 



Although the work before us does not profess to be a complete treatise on 

 Ornithology, it will doubtless be welcomed by the ornithologist. The author 

 takes as his groundw^ork the series of articles contributed to the last edition of 

 the CycIopcEiiia Britannica, which he works up according to an alphabetical 

 arrangement. The work is to be completed in four parts. We hope to refer 

 to it again— most probably in January. 



'I'he Birds of London. By H. K. Swann. Fscap. 8vo, 

 pp. 136. (London : S. Sonnenschein and Co. 1893.) Price 2s. 



A short description is given of all the species of birds which have occurred 

 more or less frequently within a radius of twelve miles of London. These are 

 described by their scientific as well as English names ; we are surprised to find 

 they number upwards of 230. 



Illusiratf.d Bible Dictionary. By M= G. Easton, M.A., 

 D.D. Crown 8vo, pp. xi. — 724. (London : T. Nelson and Sons. 1893.) 

 Price 5s. 



We have here a treasury of Biblical history, biography, geography, doc- 

 trine, and literature. It is a complete and trustworthy book of reference on all 

 Biblical subjects, and will be found invaluable to the Bible student. It con- 

 tains 200 illustrations, besides maps and plans. 



The Unrivalled Atlas of Modern Geography. (Edinbtirgh 

 and London : W. and A. K. Johnston. 1893.) Price 5s. 



Contains forty well engraved and coloured maps, size 14^ by 12 inches, 

 and an index to 20,000 names contained in the maps. There are also letter- 

 press explanations of the Classical and Physical Maps and of the Solar System 

 and Seasons. 



School Geography and Atlas. By G. Carter, M.A. 4to. 

 (London : Relfe Bros.). 



A great deal of useful information is compressed into this book, which 

 contains 32 maps, the maps being on one page and the geographical notes on 

 the opposite. The maps are drawn in such a manner that they may be readily 

 reproduced by the scholars, and they are 7iot overcrowded with names. 



The Great North Road Map. Compiled by H. R. G. 



Inglis. (London : Gall and Inglis.) 



As this map folds into 6 in. by 3 in., it will be found very convenient for 

 the traveller. The distances of all the principal towns from either end of the 

 route are plainly marked. The names of towns and villages are engraved 

 distinctly.
