 R. R. Stebbing, M. a., author of " The Challenger Amphipoda," 

 etc. With numerous Illustrations. i2mo. Cloth, $2.00. 



"Mr. Stebbing's account of 'Recent Malacostraca' (soft-shelled animals) is practi- 

 cally complete, and is based upon the solid foundations of science. 'Jhe astonishing 

 development of knowledge in this branch of natural history is due to the extension of 

 marine research, the perfecting of the microscope, and the general diffusion of informa- 

 tion regarding what has been ascertained concerning the origin of species. . . . This 

 volume is fully illustrated, and contains useful references to important authorities. It 

 is an able and meritorious survey of recent crustacea." — Fhiladelphia Ledger. 



" In all respects an admirable piece of work." — The Churchman. 



"One of the most valuable and entertaining volumes in the series. . . . The author 

 is master of an engaging style, and offers words of cheer and counsel to the beginner 

 who may be dismayed by the bewildering riches of the crustacean world. Every branch 

 of the subject treated is presented in the most interesting and significant light." — Lon- 

 don Saturday Review. 



TTANDBOOK OF GREEK AND LATIN PA- 

 J^ LyEOGRAPHY. By Edward Maunde Thompson, D.C. L., 

 Principal Librarian of the British Museum. With numerous 

 Illustrations. i2mo. Cloth, $2.00. 



" Mr. Thompson, as principal librarian of the British Museum, has of course had 

 very exceptional advantages for preparing his book. . . . Probably all teachers of the 

 classics, as well as specialists in palfeography, will find something of value in this sys- 

 tematic treatise upon a rather unusual and difficult study." — Review 0/ Reviews. 



" A well-arranged manual from the hands of a competent authority. . . . Of the 

 nineteen chapters contained in the volume, seven deal with preliminary topics, as the 

 history of the Greek and the Latin alphabets, writing materials, the forms of books, 

 punctuation, measurement of lines, shorthand, abbreviations, and contractions; five 

 are devoted to Greek palaeography, seven to Latin." — The Critic. 



" Covering as this volume does such a vast period of time, from the beginning of the 

 alphabet and the ways of writing down to the seventeenth century, the wonder is how, 

 within three hundred and thirty-three pages, so much that is of practical usefulness has 

 been brought together." — New York Titties, 



1\JAN AND THE GLACIAL PERIOD. By G. 

 •^ ^J- Frederick Wright, D. D., LL. D., author of " The Ice Age in 



North America," " Logic of Christian Evidences," etc. With 

 numerous Illustrations, i2mo. Cloth, $1.75. 



" The author is himself an independent student and thinker whose competence and 

 authority are undisputed." — Ne%v York Sjin. 



" It may be described in a word as the best summary of scientific conclusions con- 

 cerning the question of man's antiquity as affected by his known relations to geological 

 time. " — Phiiadelphix Press. 



"The earlier chapters describing glacial action, and the traces of it in North Amer- 

 ica—especially the defining of its hmits, such as the terminal moraine of the great move- 

 ment itself— are of great interest and value. The maps and diagrams are of much as- 

 sistance in enabling the reader to grasp the vast extent of the movement." — London 

 Spectator.
