as, for example, the spelling of ludlowii and rossii with one or 

 two terminal vowels; on the same page (105), Philippine Islands 

 with two I's, and the absence of the second "e" in Wiedemann, 

 together with several others. 



The larval characters and habits of Myzomyia ludloivii Theob., 

 rossii Giles, were described in detail in 1907 and 1908 ^ though 

 Messrs. James & Liston have stated on page 104 that they are 

 not known. Possibly this remark has reference to M. indefinita 

 which is hardly to be considered a valid species. 



Most of the illustrations are very good, especially the line 

 plates and text figures, but the color of the "coloured" plates 

 is, to say the least, bizarre, while figures like those on page 8 

 should never be allowed to appear in any text. 



There is no doubt that a very honest attempt has been made 

 in this book to give a means of assistance to hundreds of non- 

 technical men, but clarity and exactness should hardly be sacri- 

 ficed to popularity in a publication which bears the hall marks 

 of a scientific contribution. 



Aside from the unfortunate selection of a color for the plate 

 paper, the general appearance of the book is good.

Aside from the preface and the contents, this book consists of 

 six parts; namely, abbreviations, obituary for 1911, the world's 

 universities, biographies, supplementary list, and classified index. 



The first three parts will be useful, while the fourth, biogra- 

 phies, is the major part of the book and should be of great 

 service to librarians, editors, and scientists. In this part the 

 names of scientific men are arranged alphabetically with degrees, 

 places of birth and education, address, past and present positions 

 held, publications, and lines of present interest and research. 

 ' The supplementary list covers less than two pages and con- 

 tains some names omitted from the main list. 



In compiling this list the author restricts science to the natural 

 and applied sciences, excluding the sometimes so-called sciences 

 of economics, sociology, psychology, education, and exploration.
