 been represented in periodicals and in the transactions of learned 

 societies. Of the 1,382 entries, 45 of botanical interest are found 

 indexed under " Flora," and a considerable number of additional 

 titles occur under "Algae," "Fungi," " Diatomaceae," " Cedar- 

 tree," etc. Nearly all of the articles cited have passed under the 

 eye of Mr. Cole, and notes giving brief summaries of their substance 

 add greatly to the value and interest of the book. Only three 

 hundred and fifty copies of the work were printed, of which two 

 hundred were for the author. " Bermuda in Periodical Litera- 

 ture" will be of much service not only to those interested in 

 Bermuda from the historical and scientific standpoints but also 

 to any prospective visitor who wishes an intelligent outlook 

 upon what has been written of these islands.
