Revieics — Marr's Study of Scenery. 413 



The reference slips themselves are now in alphabetical order, and 

 the work of checking previous reference books and of eliminating 

 duplicate entries will be proceeded with as quickly as possible. 



The following reports on dates of publication of various books 

 have been published by Mr. Sherborn during the year : — 

 De Blainville, " Osteographie'" : Annals and Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), 



ii, 1898. 

 Hiibner, " Samml. europiiischer Schmetterlingen " : Annals and 



Mag. Nat. Hist. (7), ii, 1898. 

 C. d'Orbigny, " Dictionnaire Universel " : Annals and Mag. Nat. 



Hist. (7), iii, April, 1899. 

 Humboldt & Bonpland, " Obs. de Zoologie " : Annals and Mag. 



Nat. Hist. (7), iii, 1899. 

 Lichtenstein, " Catalogus rerum naturalium " : Annals and Mag. 



Nat. Hist. (7), iii, 1899. 

 " The Dates of the Paleontologie Frangaise " : Geol. Mag., 1899, 



pp. 223-225. 

 Temminck & Laugier, " Planches coloriees " : Ibis, Oct., 1898, 



It may also be mentioned that Mr. Sherborn has prepared an 

 " Index to the generic and trivial names of animals described by 

 Linngeus in the 10th and 12th editions of the Systema Natures," and 

 the thanks of zoologists are due to the Manchester Museum, Owens 

 College, for issuing this through Messrs. Dulau & Co., London, as 

 its " Publication 25." 



In the full belief that the first section of the Index (1758-1800) 

 will soon be ready for publication as a tangible result of the 

 compiler's labours, the Committee earnestly recommends its 

 reappointment.

NOT long ago we had the pleasure of noticing Mr. Marr's 

 admirable introduction to "The Principles of Stratigraphical 

 Geology," and now students of the physical side of that science 

 are to be congratulated on a further contribution in book form from 

 the same pen. 



The volume is described in the Preface as " An introductory 

 treatise on Georaorphology, a subject which has sprung from the 

 union of geology and geography." It is a terrible word to hurl at 

 the head of the unoffending general reader, whose interest in the 

 subject the book is intended to arouse, and we fear that some readers 

 will be so disheartened at the outset that they will lay down the 

 book before reading the first chapter. Fortunately most people 

 avoid the preface (we do so ourselves) and begin by looking at 

 the illustrations, in which case the reader is sure to get interested 

 and the author will be saved. Unfortunately ' physiology ' (the
