geologists at home it is pleasant to accompany an intelligent traveller, 

 page by page, who knows not only how to gossip, but how to point 

 out the physical geography, the structure, and mineral characteristics 

 of his route through this interesting region of North India. With a 

 clear map and numerous good illustrations of scenery and of build- 

 ings (both old and new), and of the handsome European-like Kulu 

 people, Mr. Calvert materially aids the reader to follow his track by 

 river-side and mountain-pass, through the picturesque villages, and 

 among the mines, and frequent exposures of unworked lodes in this 

 " Silver Country of the Vazeers." — T. E. J. 



III. — Transactions of the Newbury District Field-club, Estab- 

 lished 1870. 8vo. (Newbury, 1871.) 

 DESIGNED to promote the knowledge of the Natural History 

 and Antiquities of the neighbourhood, this Society has already 

 applied itself with industry and acumen to the cultivation of the 

 rich fields of natural science around Newbury, in both Berks and 

 Hants. The current evidences of its activity, since 1870, have been 

 the well-arranged excursions to points of interest, and the social 

 discussion of new and old facts, and of matured and nascent opinions. 

 The more lasting and tangible results are visible in the handsome 

 and well-printed volume before us, with its woodcuts, lithographs, 

 and photographic illustrations. For Geologists it offers papers on 

 the Geology of the Kennet Valley, of North Hampshire, and of the 

 Kingsclere Valley ; and on the nature and origin of the well-known 

 Sarsen stones. The Botanist, Ornithologist, and Entomologist have 

 excellent matter given them. The Antiquarian and the Scholar are 

 also largely supplied with facts and thoughts relating to the history 

 of this richly-storied region. — T. E. J. 



IV. — Ninth Annual Eeport of the Belfast Naturalists' Field- 

 club, 1871-72. 8vo. 65 pages. (Belfast, 1872. Printed for 

 the Members only.) 



BESIDES cursory notices of points of geological interest near 

 Belfast, at Woodburn Glen, and elsewhere, and in South 

 Donegal, visited by the Club in Summer excursions, this Eeport 

 contains a paper by Mr. W. Gray, on the very slight probability of 

 coal being found in the neighbourhood of Belfast ; and a paper by 

 Mr. Joseph Wright, on the geology of Cultra in County Down, in 

 which he shows that some of the so-called Permian beds there ar& 

 really of Carboniferous age. 



The Naturalists and Antiquaries are evidently active at Belfast, 

 for this Eeport contains many interesting and thoughtful notices of 

 the botany, zoology, and antiquities of the vicinity. — T. E. J.
