tory of the Orkneys [Seal Islands of ancient writers'] promises, from the 

 manner in which this first part is got up, to be fully and accurately de- 

 scribed by Messrs Baikie and Heddle of Orkney. 



8. The Natural History of the Human Species. By Lieut. -Colonel 

 Charles Hamilton Smith, K. H. Edinburgh. W. H. Lizars. 1848. 

 Colonel Smith, so well and favourably known as a Naturalist and Artist, 

 in this beautifully illustrated volit^ne displays his usual extensive know- 

 ledge of his subject. Although we must differ from the intelligent Author 

 in some of his views, we are not the less disposed to recommend it, par- 

 ticularly to Students of Anthropology. 



9. Bemerkungen uber Gyps und Karstenit. Von Professor Job. Freidr. 

 L. Hausmann. Gottingen. 1847. This celebrated Memoir so m,uch 

 prized by Philosophical Mineralogists and Geologists, we advise those of 

 our readers not already familiar with it to study carefully. 



10. Mineralogie und Geognosie. Von Professor F. X. M. Zippe. 

 Prag. 1846. Professor Zippe in his work, advocates the geognostical 

 views, and also the mineralogical system of the late celebrated Professor 

 Mohs. 



11. Dr E. Vogt's Geologic. Vols. i. and ii. Braunschweig. 1847. 

 This amusing and instructive work professes to contain the author's 

 own geological experiences and the views of Elie de Beaumont, as delivered 

 in his lectures on Geology. 



12. A Stratigraphical Accoimt of the Section from Atherfield to 

 Rocken End, Isle of Wight. By William Henry Filton, M.D., F.R.S., 

 &c. London. R. &. J. E. Taylor. 1847. This admirable account 

 cmd section afford ample proofs of the accuracy, skill, and indefatigable 

 perseverance of our friend and former pupil Dr Filton. 



13. Lehrbuch der Physikalischen Geographic und Geologic. Von B. 

 Studer, Doctor and Professor in Bern. Vols. i. and ii. Bern, 1847. As the 

 Ray Society has done good service to science by its various well-selected 

 and us I ful publications, we presume to recommend, as one of their series, 

 a translation of Professor Studer' s admired ivork on Physical Geography 

 and Geology. Mr T-dk, tvho has added to ou/r English Utevature, 

 through the Ray Society, an admirable translation of a celebrated tvork, 

 viz. Oken's Elements of Physiophilosophy , ivould, we are convinced, be 

 equally successful ivith a translation of Professor Studer s two volumes. 



14. Erichson's Archiv fur Naturgeschichte, up to 1848. Berlin. 



15. Jahres Bericht. Von Jacob Berzelius fur 1847. 



16. L'lnstitut up to February 184.8.
