fight was partly in the parishes of Wooton, Barton, and 
Barrow, but chiefly at Burnham, in the parish of Thornton 
Curtis.” We must at once admit, however, that Mr. Brown 
has brought forward much more evidence in favour of the 
opinion he holds than has -been usually the case. The volume 
has several illustrations, not the least interesting being the 
restoration of the Church of St. Peter as it appeared in the 
time of Edward the Confessor. We presume and hope an 
index to the whole work will appear with the final part 
published.

An Outline of the Natural History of our Shores. By Joseph 
Sinel. London: Swan Sonnenschein & Co., Ltd., 1906. 347 pages. 
This is the best book on this subject ee we rae seen for some time, 
having regard to the reasonableness of the cost. Mr. Sinel's position at the 
Plaice on Shell gravel, masking its outline, and modifying its colouration. 
Zoological station, Jersey, has given him exceptional opportunities of col- 
lecting and observing the fauna of the shore, and of these he has taken full 
advantage. Ina thoroughly scientific and up-to-date manner, and in plain 
language, the author describes almost all the forms of life likely to be met 
with by an ordinary worker on the coast, and the numerous illustrations, of 
which over 120 are from photographs, enable even a beginner to identify his 
specimens with ease. _ In addition to a concise review of the various divisions 
of the animal kingdom, there are chapters on collecting and preserving 
marine specimens, methods of microscopic mounting, etc., and on the 
Marine Aquarium. Two of the illustrations we are kindly permitted to 
reproduce (see plate XVI.).
