BIOLOGICAL SERIES. 



Elementary Palaeontology — Invertebrate. By Henry 

 Woods, M.A., F.G.S. With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 

 Second Edition. 6s. 



Nature. As an introduction to the study of palaeontology Mr Woods's 

 book is worthy of high praise. 



Elements of Botany. By F. Darwin, M.A., F.R.S. Second 

 Edition. Crown 8vo. With numerous Illustrations. 4s. Qd. 



Journal of Education. We are very pleased with this little book, which 

 teaches without being didactic ; and leads us into the various phenomena of 

 plant life with an easy gait, quite free from the halting jolt of the average 

 text-book on vegetable morphology and physiology. The style is pointed, 

 indeed almost abrupt ; but still very clear and concise. The description of 

 the various examples of physiological functions amongst plants is distinctly 

 good, and Mr Darwin's method of teaching the most fundamental functions 

 of plant life from simple experiments with easily get-at-able specimens is 

 thoroughly scientific. It is a noteworthy addition to our botanical literature. 



Practical Physiology of Plants. By F. Darwin, M.A., 

 F.R.S., Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge, and Reader 

 in Botany in the University, and E. H. Acton, M.A., late 

 Fellow and Lecturer of St John's College, Cambridge. With 

 Illustrations. Second Edition. Crown 8vo. 4s. Qd. 



Nature. A volume of this kind was very much needed, and it is a 

 matter for congratulation that the work has fallen into the most competent 

 hands. There was nothing of the kind in English before, and the book will 



be of the greatest service to both teachers and students The thoroughly 



practical character of Messrs Darwin and Acton's book seems to us a great 

 merit ; every word in it is of direct use to the experimental worker and to 



him alone The authors are much to be congratulated on their work, 



which fills a serious gap in the botanical literature of this country. 



Zoogeography. By F. E. Beddard, M.A., F.R.S. With 



Maps. 6s. 



Daily Chronicle. Although included in the series of Cambridge Natural 

 Science Manuals, and therefore designed chiefly for students of biology, 

 Mr Beddard deals with his subject in a clear and graphic way that should 

 commend his book to the general reader interested in the question. His 

 style, whde never lacking dignity, avoids the dulness which too often 

 accompanies that virtue.
