made a north and south section across the 

 island from Havana to Batabanos. Going 

 to Baracoa, he examined the country west 

 of Yunque Mountain and east to Cape May si. 

 Having completed his work of an original 

 examination of the phenomena, uninfluenced 

 by preconceived hypotheses, he read what 

 others had written of Cuba, and was pleased 

 to find a general agreement between their 

 views and his. The notes are published by 

 the Harvard Museum of Comparative Zo- 

 ology.

Under the title The Essential Man, an 

 argument hi support of the belief in immor- 

 tality is presented by Georae Croswell Ores- 

 sey (Ellis, 75 cents). Among the circum- 

 stances which he deems indicative of a 

 future life are the great difference between 

 the mind of man and the material forces, 

 the fact that no force is ever destroyed, the 

 eventual cessation of all physical life on the 

 earth, and the general diffusion of the doc- 

 trine in one form or another.
