to be coEgratulated upon having furnished such a valuable contribution to our 



literature. When its successor appears, and I will venture to express the hope that 



this will be at no very distant period, we shall be in possession of a treatise on the 



natural history of insects which, from the point of view of the general reader, will 



compare most favourably with any similar work that has been published in the 



English language."

VOLUME VIII. 

 Amphibia and Reptiles, by Hans Gadow, M.A., F.R.S. 



NATURE. — " In concluding the review we would express the opinion that by 

 this handsome volume a very important addition to science has been made ; that 

 the beautiful illustrations, together with the clear and charming accounts of the 

 life-histories which it contains, will do much to popularise the study of a rather 

 neglected section of zoology ; and that lovers of Reptiles, of which there are more 

 than one generally thinks, will feel that the new knowledge imparted to them 

 emanates from one who is thoroughly in sympathy with their enthusiasm."

 information on bbds, especially as regards their outer structure and habits, and

 of ornithology."
