BIOLOGICAL SERIES. 



Elementary Palaeontology — Invertebrate. By Henry 

 Woods, B.A., F.G.S. With Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 6s. 



Nature. As an introduction to the study of palaeontology Mr Woods's 

 book is worthy of high praise. 



Saturday Review. The book is clearly and concisely expressed; it 

 conveys much information in a comparatively small compass and cannot 

 fail to be most useful to the student. Not only will it give him clear ideas 

 upon the subject, but with it as a guide he will find his way more easily 

 about the larger workB or special memoirs on Palaeontology, to the saving of 

 his time and the increase of his knowledge. 



Academy. It will be distinctly useful to any student entering on the 

 study of geology. 



Science and Art Journal. Geological students will find this admirable 

 work on Invertebrate Palaeontology easy reading, and thoroughly up-to-date. . . . 

 We consider the book a most valuable addition to our scientific literature, 

 and recommend it to all who desire to acquire a sound introduction to a 

 knowledge of the past life-forms of our planet. 



Practical Physiology of Plants. By F. Darwin, M.A., 

 F.R.S., Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge, and Reader in 

 Botany in the University, and E. H. Acton, M.A., late 

 Fellow and Lecturer of St John's College, Cambridge. With 

 Illustrations. Crown 8vo. 6s. 



Nature. A volume of this kind was very much needed, and it is a 

 matter for congratulation that the work has fallen into the most competent 

 hands. There was nothing of the kind in English before, and the book will 



be of the greatest service to both teachers and students The thoroughly 



practical character of Messrs Darwin and Acton's book seems to us a great 

 merit ; every word in it is of direct use to the experimental worker and to 

 him alone. 



British Medical Journal. This book will prove a valuable one for the 



student of practical botany. The instructions for the study of these and 



similar facts in the botanical laboratory are set out with great clearness, and 

 the figures illustrating apparatus used and tracings obtained are extremely 

 good, and will greatly help the investigator who avails himself of the 

 guidance of this work. 



Glasgow Herald. Mr F. Darwin is well known as an authority on 

 Botany, and the work before us will certainly prove a safe and satisfactory 

 guide to the student in the botanical laboratory.... The directions for work 

 are* all clearly given, and for teachers possessing a laboratory a better 

 students' guide to practical work in botany could not be found. 



Natural Science. The text throughout is exceedingly clear, and the 

 index full and carefully compiled.
