tion of their laborious task. On its great utility to astronomers it is 

 unnecessary to enlarge. {Athenwum.) 



We have received from the Bureau des Longitudes their Annuaire 

 for the present year, which seems thicker and more complete than any 

 of its predecessors, well worth the money it costs (Is. 3d.) even lo the 

 English reader, on account of the very valuable tables which it contains 

 touching astronomical and geographical subjects. We notice in the 

 present edition a very complete table of the different comets, which 

 alone would make it a necessity in any astronomical establishment. 

 The semii)opular article published in the Annuaire lor this year is 

 entitled "Sur les Grands Fleaux de la Nature"; it is by M. Faye, and 

 is well worth readiug. [Nature.)
