Want of space has till now ceded out our genre of this little 
book, which is published in two forms, as a shilling guide in paper, 
and as a 3/6 book in cloth. In either case it is a handsome little 
handy volume, which gives us pleasure to notice. The Editor has 
not failed to avail himself of much co-operation, and almost every 
aspect of the subject is touched upon by a competent hand. Passing 
not enter within scope, and for t itor is largel 
entitled to the credit, we notice that the birds are very fully treated, 
a book includes (what makes it specially valuable) 
Matthew Bailey’s list of less th 229 es----the greater 
majority of which have passed through his hands during the forty 
rs has observed the ornithology of the headland. Some 
remarks by oO a M , accompany the list, 
and there is shies a more discursive chapter on birds by Mr. Thomas 
Boynton, who quotes Seebohm’s account of the ‘Egg-climming.’ The 
Rey. E. Maule Cole, M.A., F.G.S., treats of the antiquities and of 
the geology, illustrating the inte with a woodcut map. The Flower- 
ing plants, of which the Editor takes cognizance, are but slightly 
treated, and Mr. M. B, Slater, F.L.S., and Mr. William West, F.L.S., 
write the chapters on the various forms of cryptograms, the alge | 
falling to the share of the last-named. The interesting chapter 
dealing with the mollusca, both marine and land and freshwater, is 
from the pen of the Rev. W. C. Hey, M.A., and Mr. James H. 
Rowntree gives a few brief observations on the Lepidoptera, and 
some on the pebbles of the shore. The folk-lore chapter is written 
by Mr. Arthur H. Armytage, and the Rev. M. C. F. Morris discusses 
the dialect. The book is well got up and an interesting one to read, 
and it will be of much value to all visitors interested in the natural 
history of so remarkable a feature in British topography as the grand 
old headland of Flamborough.
