Fabre, Poet of Science, by C. V. Legros, T. Fisher Unwin, 

 352 pages, 8/6. Dr. Legros' work was originally printed in 1913, and 

 has reached a large circle of Fabre 's admirers. The volume is now 

 reprinted, and gives a very charming account of the life story of one of 

 the finest natural history writers the world has ever produced. 



Stones and Quarries, by J. Allen Howe. London : Sir Isaac 

 Pitman & Son, 137 pp., 3/- net. This little volume is one of Pitman's 

 Common Commodities and Industries Series and is evidently the work of 

 an expert. He deals with the various varieties of stone and the numerous 

 ways in which these are extracted from the pits. There are descriptions 

 of the numerous limestones, sandstones, slates, etc., with remarks as to 

 their suitability for different classes of work. 



The West Riding of Yorkshire, by Bernard Hobson. Cambridge' 

 University Press : 188 pp., 4/6 net. Mr. Bernard Hobson is well 

 known as an enthusiastic geologist, and in the present contribution he 

 has not suppressed his favourite hobby. With the help of Mr. Godfrey 

 Bingley's charming photographs, and contributions in the Victoria County 

 History, the author has supplemented his own knowledge and presented 

 a volume quite in keeping with the rest of the Cambridge County History 

 series. 



Catalogue of the Fossil Bryozoa (Polyzoa) in the Department of 

 Geology, British jNluseum (Natural History). The Cretaceous Bryozoa 

 (Polyzoa). Vol. III. — The Cribrimorphs, part i, by W. D. Lang,. 

 269 pages. The first two volumes of this scries were issued in 1899 and 

 1909 respectively, and now Dr. Lang has taken advantage of ' certain 

 general palseontological principles which have only of late become 

 evident,' and by the aid of beautifully drawn plates he continues the 

 Catalogue mainly on the lines laid down by Dr. Gregory. In his scholarly 

 introduction, Dr. Lang refers to the history of the extensive colloclion 

 of Cribrimorph material under his charge, and we notice that the national 

 collection contains no examples from the Chalk of Yorkshire and Lincoln- 

 shire ; polyzoa being rare in the Chalk of those counties. The softer 

 chalk of Sussex, etc., has provided a wealth of material. It is gratifying 

 to find that the Natural History Museum is continuing to publish its 

 excellent catalogues, which are the admiration of the scientific world.
