36. THE ZOOLOGIST. 
placed at his disposal a large number of Lubbock’s MS. notes, 
together with an interleaved copy of Bewick, and an interleaved 
copy of his own book. This has enabled him to make many 
interesting additions to the original work. 
On closing the volume, we have only one thing to regret, 
namely, that it does not contain Lubbock’s Norwich Lectures, 
referred to by Mr. Stevenson in his memoir (p. xx). These it 
seems were never preserved, and unfortunately only the titles 
remain.

Life. With Illustrations by Cuartes Wuymper. Cr. 8vo.

Turis is an illustrated edition of a book which has been already 
noticed in these pages (Zool. 1878, p. 358). We need not refer 
to the opinion which we have before expressed concerning its 
merits further than to observe that the favour with which it has 
been everywhere received fully justified our former praise of it. 
It was surely a happy thought to illustrate it, for it is a book 
full of suggestions for an artist, and we are glad to see that in 
this instance the illustrations are new and original. It is too 
much the practice at the present day to borrow woodcuts, with 
little or no acknowledgment, and to illustrate a new book with 
engravings designed for an old one. As a result we are very 
often presented with impressions from worn-out blocks, not always 
appropriate, and not unfrequently wrongly lettered. In the 
present instance we have nothing of this sort. Mr. Charles 
Whymper’s designs show considerable originality of treatment, 
and a complete appreciation of the author's meaning. Take, for 
instance, his illustration of the ‘‘Dog at Stream” (p. 75). The 
author of the book is contrasting instinct with mind, and describes 
the actions of a dog and his master on crossing a broad deep 
brook which has to be passed. 
“The man glances at the opposite bank and compares in his mind the 
distance to the other side with other distances he has previously leaped. 
The result is not quite satisfactory; somehow a latent doubt developes itself 
into a question of his ability to spring over. He cranes his neck, looks at 
the jump sideways to get an angular measurement, retires a few paces 
to run, shakes his head, deliberates, instinctively glances round, as if
