VOLUME III. 
Molluscs and Brachiopods. By the Rev. A. H. Cooxn, M.A., A. E. Suierey, 
M.A., F.R.S., and F. R. C. Rerp, M.A. 
TIMES.—‘‘ There 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 form containing a trustworthy treatment of the various depart- 
ments of Natural History by men who are familiar with, and competent to 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 rank as one of the finest works on natural history ever published.” 
ATHEN 4UM.—“ The series certainly ought not to be restricted in its circula- 
tion to lecturers and students only ; and, if the forthcoming volumes reach the 
standard of the one here under notice, the success of the enterprise should be 
assured.” 
INSECTS AND CENTIPEDES 
VOLUME V. : 
Peripatus. By ApAm Sepewick, M.A., F.R.S.—Myriapods. By F. G. Sryciatr, 
M.A.—Insects. Part I. By Davip 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.” 
Prof. RAPHAEL MELDOLA, F.R.S., F.C.S., in his Presidential Address to the 
Entomological Society of London, said :—‘‘ The authors of this volume are certainly 
to be congratulated upon having furnished such a valuable contribution to our litera- 
ture. Whenits successor appears, and I will venture to express the hope that this 
will be at no very distant period, we shall be in possession of a treatise on the 
natural history of insects which, from the point of view of the general reader, will 
compare most favourably with any similar work that has been published in the 
English language.” 
ENTOMOLOGIST’'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—“‘ We venture to think the 
work will be found indispensable 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.” 
INSECTS—Parr II. 
VOLUME VI. 
Hymenoptera continued (Tubulifera and Aculeata), Coleoptera, Strepsiptera, 
Lepidoptera, Diptera, Aphaniptera, Thysanoptera, Hemiptera, Anoplura. 
By Davin Suarp, M.A., F.R.S. 
SATURDAY REVIEW.—<‘Dr. Sharp’s treatment is altogether worthy of the 
series and of his own high scientific reputation. But in a work of this sort it is 
not only necessary that information should be accurate, but also that it shall be 
presented to the eye, so far as illustrations and printing are concerned, in such a 
way as to render its matter as easily intelligible as possible, and readily usable 
for purposes of reference. Under both these heads we have nothing but commenda- 
tion for Mr. Sharp’s treatise. The illustrations are indeed beautiful, and the use 
of the heavy type for the headings of the various sections and leading paragraphs 
materially helps the reader in the progress of his study. Certainly this is a book 
that should be in every entomologist’s library.” 
DAILY NEWS.—*‘It would be hard to say too much in praise of this most 
admirable volume. It is too often the case that scientific books are written in a 
dull and uninteresting style. The reader will find nothing of that kind to complain 
of here. The descriptions are clear, the illustrations are excellent ; while, as in the 
previous volumes of the series, printing and paper are all that could be desired.”
