By David Shaiu', j\[.A., M.B., F.K.S. 

 SATURDAY nEriElF. — "V)v. 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 sliould 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 readilj- usable 

 for purposes of refe -cnce. 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."

 By Hans Gadow, M.A., Ph.D., F.R.S. 

 FIELD. — "The Avork is worthy of the series in which it appears, and we can- 

 not give it higher praise." 



SCIENCE GOSSIP. — "More than maintains the high scientific reputation of 

 this series. The herpetologists, or students of the Amphibia and Reptiles, have now 

 a standard work of the highest class."
