Books Recommended 



In this department we shall, from time to time, recom- 

 mend books that to us seem of special value to readers of 

 this journal. 



I.— Two Books by Grant Allen. 



There are few books dealing with ecology that we have read with greater 

 pleasure than Grant Allen's "Vignettes from Nature" and "The Evolutionist at 

 Large." The author's style is too well known to need special comment, The 

 edition we offer is bound In paper and each volume costs 20 cents. The 40 cents 

 that brings these two volumes will be well spent. 



11. — Two Books on Seed Dispersal. 



Recently we have received numerous inquiries about books on seed dispersal. 

 The literature on this subject is not abundant, but we are able to offer two small 

 volumes which are desirable. Seal's "Seed Dispersal," 87 pages, cloth. 40 cents, 

 and Weed's "Seed Travellers," 72 pages, boards, 30 cents. It is seldom that one 

 can get all the literature on a subject for 70 cents 1 



For the above books, or any others, address,
