 M.D., LL.D., Fellow of the Royal College of Surgeons of Edin- 

 burgh, author of ' A History of the British Zoophytes.' 8vo, 102 

 Illustrations, 21s. 



" The book is a convincing proof that there is no subject, however dry and 

 unpromising, that may not be made interesting by a man of taste, genius 

 and learning. Dr. Johnston's object has been to present the concholo- 

 gist with a view of the economical, physiological, and systematical rela- 

 tions of molluscous animals to each other and to other created beings ; 

 and this he has done in a style so elegant and captivating, and with such 

 a happy facility of illustrating his theories by learned references and 

 curious anecdotes, that it is not easy to decide whether his work is most 

 valuable as a scientific, or interesting as a literary composition."
