NOW READY. VOLUME III. 



Molluscs and Brachiopods. By the Rev. A. H. Cooke, M. A., A. E. Shipi.f.y, M.A., 

 and f' R. C. Reeu, il.A. 



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

 science, but even among specialists, who will welcome a work of reasonable compass and handy 

 form containing 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." 



FIELD. " 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." 



KNOWLEDGE. " If succeeding volumes are like this one, the Cambridge Natural History will 

 rank as one of the finest works on natural history ever published." 



ATHEN/EUM. " The series certainly ought not to be restricted in its circulation to lecturers 

 and students only ; and, if the forthcoming volumes reach the standard of the one here under notice 

 the success of the enterprise should be assured." 



MANCHESTER GUARDIAN. "\\e have only to congratulate the naturalists of Cambridge on 

 the success of this first instalment of their new venture, and to express the opinion that, if the 

 succeeding volumes are completed in the same style, the work will fill a distinct gap in zoological 

 literature." 



INSECTS AND CENTIPEDES. 



NOW READY. VOLUME V. 



Peripatus. By Adam Sedgwick, M.A., E.R.S. Msrriapods. By F. G. Sinclair, 

 M.A. Insects. Part I. By David Sharp, M.A. Cantab., M.B. Edin., F.R.S. 



FIELD. " Although written for the student and the specialist, the book is not the less adapted 

 to all intelligent readers who wish to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the habits, 

 structure, and the modern classification of the animals of which it treats. To such it cannot be 

 recommended too strongly." 



SCIENCE GOSSIP. " Every library, school, and college in the country should possess this work, 

 which is of the highest educational value." 



Pro/. 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 possession 

 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. " 



ENTOMOLOGIST'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE." We venture to think the work will be found in- 

 dispensable 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 Natm-al History' series."

 trations by G. E. Lodge.
