Eto.n College Museum. — ^We have been favoured 

 with " A Guide to the Museum of Eton College." 

 to which arc added descriptive catalogues and local 

 natural history records. It is embellished with a 

 frontispiece, a plate, and other illustrations. This is 

 not intended to be Ijy any means complete, for its 

 object appears lo be the foundation of a more 

 elaborate handbook at some later period. It will, 

 however, prove useful to the boys and visitors, and 

 generally further the interests of the institution. The 

 object of the collection is evidently of an educational 

 character, and the guide is constructed with the same 

 intention, as it is arranged with short notes, giving an 

 indication of the various classes of animal life from 

 unicellular animals represented by Protozoa up to 

 Cephalopoda. The appendix deals with the birds 

 and mollusca of Berkshire and Buckinghamshire.
