ANTS, BEES, AND WASPS. A Record of Observations on the 

 Habits of the Sooial Hymenoptera. By Sir John Lubbock, Bart., 

 M. P., F. R. S., etc., author of " Origin of Civilization, and the Primi- 

 tive Condition of Man," etc., etc. With Colored Plates. 12mo. 

 Cloth, $2.00. 



"This volume contains the record of various experiments made with ants, bees, and 

 wasps during the last ten years, with a view to test their mental condition and powers 

 of sense. The principal point in which Sir John's mode of experiment differs x rom 

 those of Huber, Forel, McCook, and others, is that he has carefully watched and 

 marked particular insects, and has had their nests under observation for long periods 

 — one of his ants' nests having been under constant inspection ever since lt>74. His 

 observations are made principally upon ants, because they show more power and flexi- 

 bility of mind ; and the value of his studies is that they belong to the department of 

 original research. 11 



" We have no hesitation in saying that the author has presented us with the most 

 valuable series of observations on a special subject that has ever been produced, charm- 

 ingly written, full of logical deductions, and, when we consider his multitudinous en- 

 gagements, a remarkable illustration of economy of time. As a contribution to insect 

 psychology, it will be long before this book finds a parallel." — London Atkenosum. 



DISEASES OF MEMORY. An Essay in the Positive Psychology. 

 By Th. Ribot, author of "Heredity," etc. Translated from the 

 French by William Huntington Smith. 12mo. Cloth, §1.50. 



" M. Ribot reduces diseases of memory to law, and his treatise is of extraordinary 

 interest." — Philadelphia Press. 



" Not merely to scientific, but to all thinking men, this volume will prove intensely 

 interesting."' — New York Observer. 



" M. Ribot has bestowed the most painstaking attention upon his theme, and nu- 

 merous examples of the conditions considered greatly increase the value and interest 

 of the volume. '— Philadelphia North American. 



"To the general reader the work is made entertaining by many illustrations con- 

 nected with such names as Linnaeus, Newton. Sir Walter Scott, Horace Vernet, Gus- 

 tave Dore, and many others."— Harrisburg Telegraph. 



"The whole subject is presented with a Frenchman's vivacity of style." — Provi- 

 dence Journal. 



" It is not too much to say that in no single work have so many curious cases been 

 brought together and interpreted in a scientific manuer.'' — Boston Evening Traveller. 



MYTH AND SCIENCE. By Tito Vignoli. 12rao. Cloth, $1.50. 



"His book is ingenious; ... his theory of how science gradually differentiated 

 from and conquered myth is extremely well wrought out, and is probably in essentials 

 correct."— Saturday Review. 



"The book is a strong one, and far more interesting to the general reader than its 

 title would indicate. The learning, the acut»ness. the strong reasoning power, and the 

 scientific spirit of the author, command admiration." — New Ytrk Christian Advocate. 



" An attempt made, with much ability and no small measure of success, to trace the 

 origin and development of the myth. The author has pursued his inquiry with much 

 patience and ingenuity, and has produced a very readable and luminous treatise." — 

 Philadelphia North American. 



"It is a curious if not startling contribution both to psychology and to the early 

 history of man's development."— New York World.
