STRATHEARlVf HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY. 



The annual exhibition of this Society took place in the Masons' Hall, Crieflf, on 

 the 7th of last month, and was considered the best the Society ever held. The fruit 

 was remarkably fine, some of the bunches of grapes weighing from 7 lb. to 8 lb. ; 

 but as we cannot afford space to give the prize-list, we forbear giving any names 

 to avoid the charge of being invidious. The judges, ofiice-bearers, and members 

 of the Society dined together at the Drummond Arms Hotel in the afternoon, 

 when the usual loyal and patriotic toasts were given and responded to. 



REVIEWS. 



* An Hlustrated Natural History of British Moths,' with life-size figures from 

 nature of each species, and of the more striking varieties. Also full descriptions of 

 both the perfect insect and the caterpillar, together with dates of appearance and 

 localities where found. By Edward Newman, F.L.S., F.Z.S. London: W. 

 Tweedie, 337 Strand. 



This is a beautifully -got-up volume, which, apart from its being an exhaustive 

 treatise on the subject it refers to, will form a handsome ornament for the 

 drawing-room table ; and we cordially recommend it to all who take an interest 

 in British moths, as a guide by which they can name and arrange all their cap- 

 tures in this department of natural history.

 thousand species and varieties, accompanied by instructions for their cultivation 

 and management. By Benjamin S. Williams, F.R.H.S., Victoria and Paradise 

 Nurseries, Upper Holloway, London.
