EXTRACTS FROM PRESS NOTICES 



Athenaeum. The five new volumes comprised in this issue maintain the high 

 standard set by their predecessors, and bring the total number puMished 

 to date up to thirty-two. The volumes on Migration of Birds and 

 Earthworms each contain new material based upon the observations 

 of the authors. Mr Allen's book — the third in the series on Locomotion 

 — is exceptionally well-illustrated, and, while mainly devoted lo ihe actual 



'' working of the locomotive, contains an exciting chapter on ' Performance 

 :; and Speeds.' In the Natural History of Clay Mr Searle has a subject 

 with many aspects, but makes them all interesting. Finally, in Dr Duck- 

 worth's book we have a careful study of the relics of our ancestors, giving 

 up-to-date results of the work of the leading investigators. 



Spectator. A very valualile series of books which combine in a very happy 

 way a popular presentation of scientific truth along with the accuracy ot 

 treatment which in such subjects is essential. High among them for 

 importance of subject and for thoroughness we should rank Prehistoric 

 Man, by W. L. H. Duckworth. The descent of man from the ape is a 

 theory which does not seem to gain ground ; many thii gs seem to point 

 to "a greater antiquity of the higher type of human skeleton. "...A very 

 interesting volume is The Migration of Birds, liy T. A. Coward, with its 

 curious demonstrations of the mechanical side of the sulject. 



Observer. A series notable alike for quiet scholarship and simplicity of 

 statement.... The foitnat of this library is most tasteful, the volumes are 

 written by experts who know their subjects well enough to exen ise 

 easily the art of compression without loss of limpidity, and the price of 

 each book is readily within reach of any book-laiyer.
