Cooke (M. C.)— HANDBOOK OF BRITISH ' FUNGI, 



with full descriptions of all the Species, and Illustrations of the 

 Genera. By M. C. Cooke, M.A, Two vols, crown 8vo. 2^s, 



y 



During the thirty -Jive years that have elapsed since tlie appearance of 

 the last complete Mycdogic Flora no attempt has been made to revise 

 it, to huorporate species since discovered^ and to bring it up to the 

 standard of 77iodern science. No apology, therefore, is necessary for 

 the present effort, since all %vill adiriit that the want of such a 

 manual has long been felt, and this work makes its appearance 

 ■under the advantage that it seeks to^ occupy a place which has long 

 been vacant. No effort has been spared to make tJie tvork worthy 

 ,of confidence, and, by the publication of an occasional supplement, 

 it is hoped to 7iiaintain it for maity years as the '' Handbook ^^ 

 for every studc7tt of British Fungi, Appended is a complete alpha- 

 betical Index of all the divisions and subdivisions of the Fungi 

 noticed in the text. The book contains dpofigttres. *^ Will main- 

 tain its place as the standard English book, on the subject of which 



' — Standard. 



it treats^ for many years to come.

awson (J. W.) — ACADIAN GEOLOGY. The Geologic 

 Structure, Organic Remains, and Mineral Resources of Nova 

 Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island. By John 

 William Dawson, M.A., LL.D,, F.R.S., F.G.S., Principal and 

 Vice- Chancellor of M'Gill College and University, Montreal, &c. 

 Second Edition, revised and enlarged. With a Geological Map 

 and numerous Illustrations. 8vo. iZs. 



The object of the first edition of this %vork laas to place within the 

 reach of tlie people of the districts to "which ii relates, a poptdar 

 account of the more recent discoveries in the geology and mineral 

 resources of their country, and at the same time to give to geologists 

 in other countries a connected view of the sti-ucture of a very in- 

 teresting portion of the American Continent, in its relation to 

 general and theoretical Geology, In the present edition, it is hoped this 

 design is still more completely fidfilled, with reference to the present 

 more advanced condition of knowledge. The author has endea- 

 voured to convey a knoioledge of the structure and fossils of the 

 region in such a manner as to be intelligible to ordinary readers, 

 and has devoted imich attention to all questions relating to the nature 

 and present or prospective value of deposits of usefid minerals.
