432 Miscellaneous. 



maps and views. Appleby, 1915 (but not dated). Price Is. — This 

 work forms a useful guide to the geological structure of this district, 

 and should be much sought after by tourists interested in the 

 structure of rocks, the Appleby region being one of the best centres 

 for such studies in Great Britain. Dr. Marr's portion of the work is 

 a re-issue of his Geology of the Appleby District, published some years 

 since, which, according to a newspaper paragraph, is now " brought 

 up to date ". 



9. Catalogue of the Books, Manuscripts, Maps, and Drawings 

 in the British Museum (Natural History). "Vol. V : SO-Z. 4to ; 

 pp. 1957-2403. London : Dulau & Co., 1915. Price £l per 

 volume. — We have already spoken (Geol. Mag., 1903, pp. 415-18; 

 1910, pp. 475-6) of the merits and value of this Catalogue, and have 

 therefore only to call attention to the completion of the main work. 

 Mr. B. B. Woodward has fortunately catalogued the whole series 

 from A to Z, and thus the publication has an uniformity and com- 

 pleteness unusual in so large an undertaking. While congratulating 

 Mr. Woodward and expressing our indebtedness to him for the relief 

 he has afforded to all those who struggle through scientific literature, 

 we hope we shall not be indiscreet in mentioning that a supplementary 

 volume which will include many additions and rarities acquired while 

 the Catalogue has been going through the press (1903-15) has been 

 arranged for. The manuscript for this is already nearly finished and 

 will include the large and valuable library of entomological books and 

 •serials handed over by Lord Walsingham to the Museum with his 

 collection of microlepidoptera. And advantage will be taken for the 

 inclusion of bibliographic matter of any importance affecting the main 

 ■entries, emendations of dates, and other detail for which we look in 

 vain in most catalogues of the kind.

 for " deposited by the Rhine Glacier ", read " Rhone Glacier ". 



The following lines, indited by a friend after reading Matthew 

 Arnold on Culture, have reached the Editor's box, and may serve to 

 a-elieve the tedium of the season : — 



Culture and Kultur. 



While Culture in Britain induces 



Swifter progress to Sweetness and Light, 



His Kultur the German seduces 



Towards Arrogance, Envy, and Spite.
