“SOME RECENT OPINIONS OF OUR SUBSCRIBERS. 
age . University, Zagreb-Agram, Croatia, 
Dear Sir,— ‘ Oet. ist, 1904. 
; “Though the first volume of your Monograph is worthy of all 
the praise that can be bestowed upon it, yet the three parts that 
have since appeared, devoted to the consideration of the species, 
eall forth a still greater admiration. 
“The coloured plates and the pictures in the text are unsurpass- 
able—they are truly works of art; and no other country in the world 
ean boast of possessing such a magnificent work upon its fauna. 
_ “In the best sense of the word the Monograph will be the stan- 
dard work upon the subject upon which it treats; and one awaits 
with the greatest eagerness the appearance of the successive parts.”

- Dear Sir,— Ronneby, Sweden, Aug. 2nd, 1904. 
** Thanks for the new part (No. X.) of your magnificent work. 
In the whole range of Malacological literature, the Monograph is quite 
unique, and stands alone in the wealth and variety of its contents, the 
richness of its illustration and admirable arrangement, as well as in 
the great learning and the conservative yet critical acumen evinced 
in the text. 
‘But, my dear sir, it is a gigantic work, grand in aaeecniank: 
and worthy of Great Britain; but is it not too enormous a task to be 
completed by one pair of hands ? 
** Certainly you possess the ability to do it, but you need also 
time. It is, indeed, a proud scientific monument for its author and 
for his country.”

** Through the Vindnocs of Mr. Roebuck, I have this day seen 
the Monograph of the British Mollusca that you are publishing. 
**Can you aprange to let the Museum have a copy of what is 
already published and the forthcoming parts? 
**The work is a model of what such a Monograph should be.” 
Yours faithfully, 
A. HAMILTON, Director.
