 " supposed to belong to the same lot." 



Anyhow — " All's well that ends well," and not to 

 be outdone in courtesy I hasten to thank Mr. Carl for

•The fact that this little work, originally published 

 in January, demanded a second impression in June, 

 conclusively shews that its claims to be regarded as a 

 means of popularising natural history science have 

 been recognised by a considerable section of elemen- 

 tary teachers and by others of the general public. 



At the same time we feel that from a scientific 

 point of view a second edition would have been better 

 than merely a second impression. There is much that 

 could with advantage have been amplified and 

 explained, and the more so because the class of readers 

 appealed to is one that is presumably not too well- 

 grounded in the laws which underly natural 

 phenomena. Still we are bound to say that the 

 authoress shews considerable personal knowledge of 

 field Natural History and in addition has apparently 

 been an extensive reader of the literature of the 

 subject.
