THE leading article in the August number of The American Naturalist is an 

 ._ exceedingly pungent address on Catastrophism and Evolution, by Clarence King, 

 who treats the subject with aniniation and force. Eoth evolutionists and their oppo- 

 nents will read the article with interest. Samuel Calvin follows with a paper on 

 Changes of Habit among Woodpeckers, and R. E. C. Stearns makes some comment 

 on a previous paper by F. A. Barber on Aboriginal Shell Ornaments. A fish which 

 bears the droll name of the Long- Jawed Goby is scientifically hashed by W, N. 

 Lockington, and from Andrew Murray's work on Economic Entomology is given some 

 curious facts respecting The Museum Mite. The same work is reviewed in Recent 

 Literature, which also contains a notice of Baird's Annual Record. There are very 

 full notes, especially in the departments of Botany and Zoology, and an unusual 

 amount of Scientific News. The number is one of great variety.
