Catalogue of Minerals and Mineralogical Supplies 

 (Geo. L. English and Co., New York), 16th edition, 1894. — 

 Though unusual to notice publications which are trade catalogues 

 in this journal, this work is so nearly a scientific production that 

 we have no hesitation in bringing it under the notice of persons 

 interested in mineralogy, and beginners especially will find much 

 useful information in its pages. It comprises four sections : — (1) 

 Crystallography, (2) Physical Mineralogy, (3) Chemical Miner- 

 alogy, (4) Miscellaneous, (5) Descriptive Mineralogy. The last 

 section is, perhaps, the most valuable, as it consists of a synopsis 

 of the classification of minerals, with a list extending over 60 

 pages of all the known "ites" and their synonyms, while the 

 index itself contains about 3,300 references. Aglossary of terms and 

 the chemical formulae of a large number of minerals add to the use- 

 fulness of the book, while the price list will enable collectors to 

 ascertain the cost of filling some of the vacancies in their cabinets. 



A Valuable Donation. — In a recent letter to Mr. C. French, 

 F.L.S., from Mons. A. Bouchard, the well-known naturalist, he 

 states that he has presented the whole of his magnificent collection 

 of birds, comprising 28,000 specimens of 8,000 species, to the 

 Museum of the Jardin des Plantes, in Paris, to which he also 

 intends to hand over his extensive entomological collections. 



Exchange. — Mr. W. E. Saunders, 352 Clarence-street, London, 

 Ontario, desires to exchange for living named native plants, 

 such as orchids, ferns, or easily grown herbaceous plants, similar 

 Canadian plants, and invites correspondence with any person 

 interested.
