BIOLOGY AT LIVERPOOL. 
Proceedings and Transactions of the Liverpool Biological Society, Volumes 
5, 6, 7 and 8, 1890 to 1894. 
THESE four moderate sized volumes continue the record of the work 
of this energetic provincial society in the direction we pointed out in 
our notice of the first four volumes of Proceedings in ‘ The Naturalist’ 
for 1894. It is, perhaps, hardly to be expected that a society which 
deals with the entire range of biological science in its widest aspects 
should be always able to maintain the high level of scientific interest 
that can be attained by an organisation with a broader area from 
which to select its members, so that it would not be surprising to 
find that the papers in these publications dealing with local biology 
are of more practical value than some of the others of a more general 
character. This fact is, indeed, very evident from a glance at the 
contents of these volumes. Sy them in order, the volume of 
Proceedings for 1890-1 contains papers and 17 plates. The 
papers open with the presidential cadiaes of the late Mr. T. J. Moore, 
who gives an interesting account of the Living Zoological Collection 
maintained by the 13th Earl of Derby at Knowsley, and in connec- 
tion with which Mr. Moore held an official position for many years- 
Lord Derby was the means of introducing many rare forms of 
animals to England, and his work had a value far beyond the mere 
range of scientific discovery, for his attractive acing pian a 
charm and interest to human life far reaching amongst t ASSES, 
one imperishable memorial of his labours being the Derby paar 
the second of which appears in the volume for 1891-2. Professor 
Herdman has three papers in volume 5, the longest of which, giving 
an account of the Biological: Station of the Liverpool Committee,
