Entomological Notes for the Young Collector. By W. A. 



Morley. i2mo, pp. x. — 129. (London: E. Stock. 1896,) Price 2/- 



Young collectors will find this just the book they require. Its twelve 



chapters tell what butterflies and moths may be caught each month, with hints 



as to apparatus, setting, etc. etc. 



We are sorry to note that, in common with many other entomologists, the 



author apparently ignores generic names, and gives only their initials. 



Out-of-the-Way Pets and other Papers. By Rev. Theodore 

 Wood, F.E.S., etc. Cr. 4to, pp. 263. (London: F. Sherlock.) Price 5/- 



This very nice little book consists, first, of a series of twenty-four papers, 

 originally published in the Church Monthly, describing a variety of animals, 

 birds, insects, etc., followed by a series of twelve monthly rambles. In most of 

 these the author has endeavoured to emphasise the great lesson that what men 

 mostly call Nature is a second Bible. There are upwards of 70 good illustra- 

 tions. 



Across Greenland's Ice-Fields : The Adventures of Nansen 

 and Peary on the Great Ice-Cap. By M. Douglas. Crown 8vo, pp. 218. 

 (London: Thos. Nelson and Son. 1897.) Price 2/- 



The author of this interesting and nicely illustrated little book has selected 

 those heart-stirring narratives for her theme which relate to the perils and diffi- 

 culties attendant on the exploration of the Inland Ice of Greenland. Miss 

 Douglas conducts her readers over those trackless wastes of snow and ice in 

 the footsteps of Nordenskiold, of Nansen, and of Peary ; and certainly those 

 who begin the journey with her will, in continuing it to the end, derive no 

 small amount of pleasure and instruction. A portrait of Nansen forms the 

 frontispiece to the book. 



On the Broads. By Anna Bowman Dodd. Fscap. 4to, pp. 

 xii. — 331. (London: Macmillan and Co. 1896.) Price 10/6. 



A most interesting and pleasantly written book describing a fortnight's 

 cruise on the P)roads, the district which lies between the sea-beaches of Yar- 

 mouth and Lowestoft. " For more than a decade," says the author, "cruising 

 on the Broads has taken a foremost place in the long list of summer sports and 

 pastimes yielded by that amazing little island, where, by utilising every rill and 

 rivulet, every hill and upland, man has doubled the size and tripled the plea- 

 sure-giving capacity of the stretch of land he calls England." There are 30 

 fine full-page illustrations.
