BOMBAY NATURAL HISTORY SOCIETY. 



The book is throughout extremely interesting ; and about as well got up as any 

 book of its size and class has ever been. Manyoftbe illustrations are extremely 

 beautiful, especially the studies of trees. There is a double-barrelled sketch of 

 jack fruit {Artocarpus intef/rifolia) at page 6 of the second volume; which for 

 truth and beauty is very much to be preferred to the living fruit; and has the 

 further advantage of not smelling nasty, as that does. 



There is but one thing to regret about " the Cruise of the Marchesa," videlicet, 

 that none of the ship's company seem to have thought it worth while to notice any 

 fish which did not lend itself to being "selected" with a gaff out of half a yard of 

 water, except by eating it.
