the meadows," and the third " by stream and lake" — 

 further parts are promised in the spring. It appears 

 to be a collection of process blocks from original 

 photographs, with accompanying letterpress which 

 does not claim to be original. The photographs are 

 of a high order of merit, and the book — slight as it 

 is — is a very charming one. We especially like the 

 photographs of " Young Lapwings in Nest," " Stone- 

 chats." " Heron," and " Wild Ducks and Young." 



The parts are sixpence each, and are published by 

 T. N. Foulis of Edinburgh and London.

Nightingale. (Mr. True). Very emaciated : had suffered 

 for a longtime from congestion of liver and other abdominal 

 organs. The epileptiform attacks noticed towards the 

 last are not an infrequent accompaniment of the later stage 

 in such conditions. 



Wren. (Mr. True). Unlike the Nightingale this was plump 

 in flesh, having been ill only a short time. Death resulted 

 from pneumo-enteritis, i.e. a general septic condition 

 manifesting itself more particularly in acute pneumonia 

 and inflammation of the intestines. 



Lizard Canary. (Mr. Halliday). This bird's liver vras in a 

 state of commencing fatty degeneration, but the immediate 

 cause of death was pneumonia of the right lung. 



PECTOraijs Finch. (Mr. Howe). Fatty degeneration of the 

 liver of some standing.
