Figures of Chakacteristic British Fossils : with Des-

 F.G.S., Acting Paleontologist to H.M. Geological Survey

THIETY-SEVEN years ago Samuel Woodward (Author of " An 

 Outline of the Geology of Norfolk") published his " Synoptical 

 Table of British Organic Kemains," being the first attempt in this 

 country to furnish a systematically and stratigraphically arranged 

 list of British fossils since the Ichnographia of Lhwyd in 1699. 



Thirteen years later (184o) the progress of geological studies 

 necessitated a new edition, but Mr. Woodward being dead, Professor 

 Morris brought out the first edition of his " Catalogue of British 

 Fossils," a work which has justly maintained the first place in all 

 geological libraries. The second edition appeared in 1854. We are 

 glad to learn from the author that the third edition is now in pre- 

 paration, and shall be still more so to announce it as "now ready." 



Only those who have the work of arranging a geological collec- 

 tion can fully estimate the value of a reference catalogue. And this 

 need increases with the size and varied nature of the collection to be 

 named. The book before us does not chiefly aim at supplying the 

 wants of the scientific worker and museum curator, but it is intended 

 rather to assist geological students, and others, who, from their limited 

 knowledge of palaeontology, require to have figures of the various 

 fossils placed before them, as well as their names and references, in 

 order to enable them to identify their specimens. When it is borne
