Mr. J. Donkin, F.R.1I.B.A.. favours us with a copy of his ‘Conservancy 
or Dry Sanitation versus Water Carriage’ (E. & F. Spon, London. 
Price 1/-). This is clearly written and illustrated by diagrams. It should 
be read carefully by all interested in sanitation. 
Under the title of ‘Douglas English Nature Books,’ Messrs. 
Bousfield & Co. have issued two admirable shilling books. The first 
contains Ioo illustrations from photographs from life of the Shrew Mouse, 
the Dormouse, the House Mouse, the Field Mouse, the Meadow Mouse, and 
the Harvest Mouse. A fair sample of these excellent photographs is repro- 
duced herewith by permission of the publishers. But of even more interest 
rhe Dormouse. 
and value are the ‘Notes on some smaller British Mammals.’ by Mr. English 
—which occupy 30 pages. No. 2 of the series contains a similar number of 
beautiful illustrations of bird life, and thirty pages of letterpress by Mr. R. B. 
Lodge. Both books should do much to popularise natural history, as well 
as serve as handy guides to amateur photographers. 
Forty Years in a Moorland Parish. Reminiscences and Researches. 
in Danby in Cleveland, by Rev. J. C. Atkinson. Macmillan & Co., Ltd., 
1907, pp. xlv. + 472, price 5/- net. We feel sure that it will be unnecessary 
to call the attention of readers of the ‘Naturalist’ to the nature of this. 
charming volume, one of the most popular of those written by the late 
Canon Atkinson, who has deservedly been styled the Yorkshire Gilbert 
White. We desire, however, to congratulate the publishers on the appearance 
for the first time of an excellent memoir of the author, written by Mr, G,. A. 
Macmillan; together with two portraits, which are beautifully repro- 
duced. To describe the contents of ‘Forty Years in a Moorland Parish’ 
would be almost an insult to the readers of this journal. Should there 
be any, however, who have not read the volume, let us recommend them 
to do so at once. And those who have already seen it will be glad to 
have the present edition from the additional matter and illustrations which 
it contains.
