TIMES. There are very many, not only among educated people who take an interest in science, 

 but even among specialists, who will welcome a work of reasonable compass and handy form con- 

 taining a trustworthy treatment of the various departments of Natural History by men who are 

 familiar with, and competent to deal with, the latest results of scientific research. . . . Altogether, 

 to judge from this first volume, The Cambridge Natural History promises to fulfil all the expectations 

 that its prospectus holds out." 



DAILY CHRONICLE." It can be read with profit by the zoologist, and there is a vast amount 

 of niatter which is interesting to those who like the tit-bits of science ; but do not care so much for 

 the more serious aspects of the subject." 



NATURE NOTES. "The work as a whole is thoroughly well got up, and we cordially recom- 

 mend it to our readers." 



FIELD. The work is really an admirable introduction to the study of molluscs, treating of their 

 position in the animal kingdom, the habits and general economy of land and fresh-water species* 

 their structure, general distribution over the earth's surface (which is illustrated by some very 

 valuable maps), their growth and development, their uses to man, the cultivation for food of such 

 species as the oyster, the mussel, and the snail, and the utilisation of their shells for money and 

 ornament. ... We know of no book available to the general reader which affords such a vast fund 

 of information on the structure and habits of molluscs." 



Volume V. Peripatus. By Adam Sedgwick, M.A., F.R.S. Myriapods. By 

 F. G. Sinclair, M.A. Insects, Parti. By David Sharp, M.A.Cantab., 

 M.B. Edin., F.R.S. Fully Illustrated. Medium 8vo. I7s.net. 



Prof. Raphael Meldola, F.R.S., F.C.S., in his Presidential Address to the Entomological 

 Society of London, said : "The authors of this volume are certainly to be congratulated upon 

 having furnished such a valuable contribution to our literature. When its successor appears, and 

 I will venture to express the hope that this will be at no very distant period, we shall be in pos- 

 session of a treatise on the natural history of insects which, from the point of view of the general 

 reader, will compare most favourably with any similar work that has been published in the 

 English language." 



ENTOMOLOGISTS' MONTHLY MAGAZINE. "We venture to think the work will be found 

 indispensable to all who seek to extend their general knowledge beyond the narrowing influence of 

 exclusive attention to certain orders or groups, and that it will take a high position in The Cambridge 

 Natural History series."
