7-O: 
In The Geological Magazine for July is an excellent portrait of Prof. 
J. E. Marr, with a Memoir. 
The Scottish Naturalist for July-August contains pages 147 to 218, and 
is entirely devoted to the report on Scottish Ornithology for 1915. 
The Ivish Naturalist for -August is almost entirely occupied by an. 
account of ‘ Two Irish Chilopods,’ by Hilda K. Brade and the Rev. 5S. G. 
Birks. 
The Yorkshive Archeological Journal, part 93, contains an illustration 
of a fine Bronze-Age spear-head, nearly 10 inches in length, found at 
Northallerton. 
In The Lancashire and Cheshive Naturalist for June a new variety of 
Chordeumella scutellave var. byélemanni, by Miss H. Kk. Brade and Rev. 
S. G. Birks, is described. 
The Museums Jouynal for August contains the presidential address 
of Mr. E. Rimbault Dibdin, of the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool, as well 
as an account of the recent conference of Museums’ curators at Ipswich. 
In the British Dental Journal for May, Mr. W. C. Lyne has an elaborate: 
paper on the Significance of the Radiographs of the Piltdown Teeth. In 
this Mr. Lyne evidently considers that the isolated canine tcoth has no 
connection whatever with the remainder of the Piltdown relics. 
Wild Life for July contains the following articles :—‘ The Little Ow! 
in Essex,’ by J. H. Owen; “ihe Wheatear,? by Wm. Farren; ~ ihe 
Beaver,’ by W. B. Johnstone ; “ The Curlew,’ by the Rev. D. A. Scott; 
‘Notes on the Wryneck,’ by E. Eykyn; ‘Sexual Selection in Birds,” 
by Edmund Selous. 
We notice in Man for July that Mr. J. R. Moir describes some humani 
bones of neolithic and later date, found in the Ipswich district, while 
excavating in the Shelly Red Crag. We are inclined to doubt the neolithic 
age of the specimens so described, as judging from the associated objects. 
they certainly seem to be of the Bronze Age. The British Museum authori- 
ties state ‘late neolithic or early Bronze Age,’ but notwithstanding this. 
Mr. Moir definitely says neolithic. 
A writer in The Entomologist’s Monthly Magazine for August suggests 
that certain species of insects which were described in some little paper 
should be treated as though they had never been described. This sug- 
gestion cannot of course be adopted as when a species has once been 
described, no matter where nor how badly, the description must be 
recognised, Of course it is admitted that it would be a great advantage to. 
Naturalists if authors described their species properly, in recognised 
Journals.
