Molluscs and Brachiopods. By the Rev. A. H. Cooke, M.A., A. E. Shipley, M.A., 

 and F. R. C. Reed, M.A. 



TIMES. — "Tliere are very many, not only among educated people who take an interest in 

 science, but even among specialists, who will welcome a work of reasonable compass and handy 

 I'onn containing a trustworthy treatment of the various departments of Natural History by men 

 who are familiar with, and competeutto deal with, the latest results of scientific research. Altogether, 

 to judge from this first volume, the Cambridge Natural History promises to fulfil all the expectations 

 that its prospectus holds out." 



FIELD. — " We know of no book available to the general reader which affords such a vast fund of 

 information on the structure and habits of molluscs." 



KNOWLEDGE. — " If succeeding volumes are like this one, the Cambridge Natural History will 

 ]ank as one of the finest works on natural history ever published." 



ATHENJEUM. — " The series certainly ought not to be restricted in its circulation to lecturers 

 and students only ; and if the forthcoming volumes reach the standard of the one here undernotice 

 the success of the enterprise should be assured."

 M. A.— Insects. Part L By David Sharp, M.A. Cantab., M.B. Edin., F.R.S. 



FIELD. — " Although written for the student and the specialist, the book is not the less adapted 

 to all intelligent readers who wish to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the habits, 

 structure, and the modern classification of the animals of which it treats. To such it cannot be 

 recommended too strongly." 



SCIENCE GOSSIP.— " Every library, school, and college in the country should possess this work, 

 which is of the highest educational value." 



ENTOMOLOGIST'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—" We venture to think the work will be found in- 

 dispensable to all who seek to extend their general knowledge beyond the narrowing influence of 

 exclusive attention to certain orders or groups, and that it will take a high position in ' The 

 Cambridge Natural History' series."
