" This small volume supplies one of the desiderata to all Naturalists, viz. a 

 book of reference to a small, and in a general significance, little-studied group of 

 animals. These terrestrial Isopod Crustacea, represented in Britain, according 

 to our authors by twenty- five species are each beautifully illustrated on separate 

 plates, which renders their identification a matter of little difficulty. Of these 

 no fewer than seventeen have been found in the County of Essex, where the 

 Authors investigations have been principally made. This Monograph 

 originally appeared in the " Essex Naturalist " and is a further example of 

 the great stimulus given to all naturalistic studies, we will not say local, but 

 County studies, and we might well give a larger definition, by the foundation of 

 the Essex Field Club. This publication is not intended to be the last word on 

 the subject, but it certainly is the best to work with, and should be largely used 

 in other counties than Essex. How many local societies can give offhand the 

 number of species of Woodlice which occur in the area of their investigations ? ' r
