NOTICES OF BOOKS. 
ean M. J. Surron has produced a handsome volume on ‘ Per- 
manent and Temporary Pastures’ (Hamilton & Adams), with 
descriptions and coloured figures of what agriculturists style 
to be included——-and clovers. The letterpress deals 
ject from the standpoint of the practical farmer ; 4 would have 
been much more useful, however, if figures of the seeds of different 
grasses had been given, so that allied species might be readily 
distinguished by the grower. The plates, Py Mr. B. George, are 
many of them good ; exception must, however, be taken to that of 
Medicago lupulina, which gives a very epapeieta idea of the plant.
