Two new Book-cases have been added in the past year to

 operation which will have to be repeated at indefinite inter- 

 vals, as new presses are from time to time added.

 The major part of the manuscript of Part III. of a 

 " Catalogue of Fossil Fishes," by Arthur Smith Woodward, 

 E.G. p., is now in the printer's hands, and many of the illus-
