40. THE ZOOLOGIS'Y. 
The third illustration, “ Setting a Night-line ” (p. 194), we have ' 
selected on account of the artistic treatment of the subject, and 
the skilful rendering of light and shade. 
Throughout the volume Mr. Whymper seems to have aimed at 
a careful interpretation of his author's meaning, and as regards 
both text and illustrations, it forms one of the prettiest gift-books 
we have seen this Christmas. 
The International Dictionary for Naturalists and Sportsmen. In 
English, French, and German. By Epwin Smrrson Barrie. 
Roy. 8vo, pp. 284. Triibner & Co., Ludgate Hill. 1879. 
Tus capital Dictionary, which has been appearing in monthly 
parts, is now completed, and we doubt not will be found extremely 
useful by those of our countrymen whose inclinations take them 
periodically abroad in pursuit of sport or the study of Natural 
History. It contains all the terms used in Hunting, Shooting, 
Hawking, Fowling, and Fishing, together with a large number of 
technical terms employed by zoologists and botanists, and which 
are not to be found in the majority of dictionaries. 
We have no fault to find with it except as regards size, a royal 
octavo being somewhat cumbersome for a portmanteau; but 
perhaps, if it meets with the success it deserves, the publishers 
may see their way to a new issue in a more handy form.
