" The Country-Side." — The December number of this 

 magazine, which is the successor of the old Science Gossip, so 

 dear to all dal)blers in natural history, is to hand, and contains 

 the usual varied assortment of natural history matter. The 

 l('ature of recent numbers is the coloured ])late i)rcsentetl 

 monthly. This month the i)late is entitled "Early J-Jreakfasl," 

 and IS a beautiful reproduction of a Whitethroat feeding threi; 

 young birds huddled together on a briar bough. It is termed a 

 bromochrome, and certainly Mr. J. Evans, the artist, is to be 

 congratulated on the result of his effort. Mr. H. H. Scott, of 

 the Launceston Museum, contributes an article on *• E.xtinct 

 Tasmanian Monsters." while Mr. C. Grant Lane, whose ])hoto- 

 graphs oc<,asi(mally a])peared in the Leader, contributes an 

 illustrated article on " Wild-h'olk in a (iipi)sland Forest," 

 dealing with the Sil\er-grey ()])ossum — or rather 'Possum, to 

 distinguish it from the original opossum of America.
