The most interesting part of the book is jirobably the section on 

 the Hymenoptera, by reason of the striking, various and won- 

 derful habits of these insects. There are, however, many similar 

 observatioi>s recorded for other groups and they prove most enticing 

 reading when one opens the book at i-andom. The illustrations are 

 as delightfully clear and clean as is the typography, so that the 

 book is pleasinw in every way, and we must expect weight in a vol- 

 ume which treats of insects. Author and readers are alike to be 

 cong"i*atulated on the results of Di". Sharp's laboi's amidst the be- 

 wildering riches of entomology. P. P. C.
