and contained twenty-two teeth on each side. The shorter 

 upper jaws had twenty-three teeth on each side ; or ninety 

 teeth in all, and they extended further back into the mouth 

 than those of the lower jaws. The teeth were worn quite 

 flat, proving it to be adult — probably aged — and as it did not 

 show any sign of injury, possibly the beast had succumbed 

 to old age. 



FIELD NOTES. 



ENTOMOLOGY. 



Camberwell Beauty near Bradford. — On Wednesday, 

 August 15th, I had an excellent view of a Camberwell Beauty 

 [Vanessa antiopa) in the old quarries in Woodhall plantation, 

 Fagley, near Bradford. It danced round me for quite a couple 

 of minutes so that I saw it perfectly. — Herbert E. Wroot.

Discovery of Hygromia striolata in Nottinghamshire. 



— The inexplicable apparent total absence of this species from 

 Nottinghamshire has been frequently remarked upon by the 

 students of geographical distribution. This blank in the 

 Catalogue of Notts, species has now been filled up by Mr. 

 T. H. Chambers of Leeds, a diligent and enthusiastic con- 

 chologist, who has recently collected a number of living 

 specimens at Worksop and also in the vicinity of Newark. —

REVIEWS AND BOOK NOTICES. 



Neolithic Dew-Ponds and Cattle-ways, by A. J. and G. Hubbard. Long- 

 mans, Green & Co., 116 pp. Excepting that the words ' second edition ' 

 are altered to ' third edition,' and the date 1907 is altered to 1916, and 

 the printers' imprint is in different type, this ' third edition ' seems in 

 all respects similar to the second edition, which was reviewed in these 

 columns for September, 1908, p. 354. The prefaces to the 1st and 2nd 

 editions are reprinted ; no preface to the third edition being given. That 

 a third edition of a work of this kind (more local in its scope than indicated 

 by the title) should be called for, is evidence of its popularity. 



Microscopical Determination of the Opaque Minerals : an aid to the 

 study of Ores, by J. Murdock. New York and London (Chapman and 

 Hall, 165 pp., 9/6). The Author is 'Geologist, Secondary Enrichment 

 Investigation,' and his book is surely systemization and classification in 

 perfection. By the aid of thumb-cuts at the tops of the pages, reference 

 is readily made to the sections devoted to Gray, White and Coloured 

 minerals. The right-hand sides of the pages of these sections are cut 

 away to indicate various colours, hardnesses, etc. ; the right-hand sides 

 being further cut to show ' Eff. HN0 3 ,' 'No Eff. HNO a , HNO a , Neg,' 

 etc., the pages on each of these subsections containing details of the
