THE RACES OF AFGHANISTAN; 
BEING 
A Brief Account of the Principal Nations inhabiting that Country. 
By Surgeon-Major H. W. BELLEW, C.S.I., 
Late on Special Political Duty at Kabul. 
. 
Dr. BELLEW Jelieves ‘‘ for the peace and security of our Indian Empire, they (the Afghans) 
must, ere very long, be enrolled among the list of its various subjects; and this by the force of com- 
pelling and unavoidable circumstances. For to know the history, interests, and aspirations of a 
people, is half the battle gained in converting them to loyal, contented, and peaceable subjects, to 
willing participators and active protectors of the welfare of the Empire towards which, from position 
and self-interest, they naturally gravitate.”

THE BIRDS OF CORNWALL 
AND THE SCILLY ISLANDS. 
By the late EDWARD HEARLE RODD. 
Edited, with an Introduction, Appendix, and Brief Memoir of the Author, by 
JAMES EDMUND HarTING. With Portrait and Map. 
Owing to the geographical position occupied by Cornwall and the adjacent isles of Scilly, this 
portion of Great Britain must always possess a special interest for Ornithologists. From its extreme 
southern and western situation tt may be assumed to offer one of the first resting-places in spring, and 
one of the last in autumn, to those flocks of migratory birds which annually visit us for the summer 
_ months from South-west Europe and North-west Africa; while the jutting headland of the Land's 
£nd may be said to stand invitingly in the way of those feathered wanderers from the New World 
which, traversing in a marvellous manner the intervening ocean-waste which separates the American 
and European continents, occasionally find themselves so inhospitably received on British sotl.

ALPHABETICAL MANUAL OF BLOWPIPE ANALYSIS. 
Showing all known Methods, Old and New. 
By W. A. ROSS, Lieut.Colonel, late R.A., 
Mem. Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft, Author of ‘‘ Pyrology ; or, Fire Chemistry.”” 
One of our most original and neglected metallurgists (MAKINS) writes :—‘‘ For qualitative 
metallurgical examinations the blowpipe is zzva/wadle, for by it we can command an immediate 
intense heat, perfectly variable at pleasure as to the nature of its action and effects ; and, more- 
over, can work with the greatest facility and certainty upon masses of material far too minute 
for any other kind of manipulation.” 
Prof. HUXLEY says :—‘‘ If scientific training is to yield its most eminent results, it must be 
made fractical. Don’t be satisfied with telling a student that a magnet attracts iron. Let him 
feel the pull for himself.”
