by Dr. Badham, who has received much friendly aid from Mrs. Hussey's admirable 

 pencil ; and the other by Mrs. Hussey herself, which we are at present noticing. 



" This talented lady and her sister were in the first instance induced to di'aw some 

 of the more striking Fungi, merely as picturesque objects. Their collection of 

 drawings at length became important from their niunber and accuracy, and a long 

 continued study of the nutritive properties of Fungi has induced the former to lay 

 the results of her investigations before the public, under the form of monthly illus- 

 trations of the more usefiU and interesting species. The figures are so faithful that 

 there can be no difBculty in at once determining with certainty the objects they are 

 intended to represent ; and the observatious, especially those of the culinary depart-

 accuracy of the figures, there wiU be no danger, with ordinary attention, of making 

 any serious blunder." — Gardeners' Chronicle.

 of habitation. By Lovell Reeve, F.L.S. Illustrated 

 chiefly from the Cumingian Collection. Published montldy 

 in Parts, 10.<f., and subsequently in Monographs. 



Owing to the zeal with which the interests of the Conchologia 

 IcoNTCA have been promoted by Mr. Cuming, the work has been 

 mainly illustrated from his instnictive collection, and the information 

 it contains is the result of " more than thirty of the best years of his 

 life in arduous and hazardous personal exertions, di-edging, diving, 

 wading, and wandering, under the Equator and through the temperate 

 zones, in the laboiu- of collecting " As we learn from Professor Owen, 

 " that no public collection in Europe possesses one half the number of" 

 species of shells that are now in the Ciuningian collection," and that 

 probably " one tliird of the ninnber would be the correct statement as 

 regards the national museums of Paris and Vienna," it is a much more
