The Willows, Fallowfield, Manchester, before the 16th of

Cote’s StupiEs.—Nos. 1 and 2 of the new volume have been 
issued, the first treating of the morphology of the cell being an in- 
troduction to Animal Histology, while No. 2 opens the subject 
of Botanical Histology. 
Tue MetHops oF MICROSCOPICAL RESEARCH.—This work is 
issued under the direction of Mr. J. E. Ady, as a preliminary to 
Vol. II. of the Studies in Microscopical Science. Two numbers 
have already appeared, the second on June 3oth, and the series 
will be continued monthly until completed. 
THE BIRMINGHAM SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY GuIDE.—A very 
handy guide of 74 8vo pages is published under this title at the 
Town Crier Office, 21, Great Charles-street, Birmingham. Its price 
is sixpence. Details of rambles to 39 places in the neighbourhood 
are given, the Natural History of the localities being well considered 
under the following headings :—Our feathered neighbours, Butter- 
flies and Moths, Beetle hunting, On Spiders, and Land fresh water 
Shells, What the Microscope will show, The rarer Plants and 
Ferns, Our Moss flora, Geological rambles, and Fossil hunting. 
LIVERPOOL NaTuRALISTS’ FreELD CLup.—We have just received 
the “ Proceedings” of this Society for the year 1882-83, which 
contains the President’s Address and an account of the Excursions 
and evening meetings. The President (Rev. H. H. Higgins) has 
given his readers an intellectual treat, extending over 42 pages,, 
while Mr. Robert Brown has recorded the names of the more in- 
teresting plants, woficed during the excursions of 1882. It is 
satisfactory to note that the Club is in a very sound financial 
position. 
THE JOURNAL OF THE PostaL Microscopical Society still 
keeps up its high class character; the resumé of Geological research 
by Mrs. A. Cowen in part 6 is valuable and interesting, while the 
chapter on the Methods of Microscopical research in the Zoological 
station at Naples will be found exceedingly useful by every pre- 
parer of micro-objects. 
Back VoLuMEs.—During the past week we have been able to 
complete two Vol I. and one Vol. II. Subscribers requiring these, 
please apply at once.
