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 says: ‘‘/¢ zs more to our present purpose to consider who the people are with whom, 
under the comprehensive term of Afghan, we are now brought into direct contact, and whom it will 
ere very long be our inevitable duty to govern as subjects of our Indian Empire. Of the necessity of 
this issue of our past and present dealings with this country there is no longer any advantage in 
blinking the conviction. And the sooner we declare our will, the more promptly will the people accept 
‘the situation, and accommodate themselves to the new regime of British rule, justice, and protection,”

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 EpmMunp Hartinc. 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 it may be assumed to offer one of the Jirst 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 
End 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 soil.

ALPHABETICAL MANUAL OF BLOWPIPE ANALYSIS. 
Showing all known Methods, Old and New. 
By W. A. ROSS, Lieut. Colonel, late R.A., 
Member of the German Chemical Society, Author of “Pyrology; or, Fire Chemistry.” 
“« | | . , The present volume and its predecessor, ‘Pyrology,’ are, we believe, the 
only original and independent contributions to Blowpipe Chemistry which England has pro- 
‘duced for at least half-a-century.”—Chemical News. 
One of our most original and neglected metallurgists (MAKINS) writes :—‘‘ For qualitative 
‘metallurgical examinations the blowpipe is ixvaluable, 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- 
‘ever, can work with the greatest facility and certainty upon masses of material far too minute 
for any other kind of manipulation.” 
Prof. Hux.ey says :—‘‘If scientific training is to yield its most eminent results, it must be 
made practical. Don’t be satisfred with telling a student that a magnet attracts iron, Let him 
feel the pull for himself.”
