5. Echinoidea of the Danish Ingolf Expedition ; by Th. 

 Mortbnsen. Vol. IV, 2. Part II. 4to, 20 pages, 19 plates, 27 

 cuts. — This elaborate work contains detailed descriptions and 

 figures of a large number of deep-sea species, with elaborate de- 

 tails of the pedicellarise, spicules, etc., together with chapters on 

 the distribution and a very useful general list of the Echinoidea 

 of the Atlantic, with their geographical and bathyraetrical distri- 

 bution. In the Introduction the author discusses still further the 

 unfortunate controversy and misunderstanding between himself 

 and Mr. A. Agassiz in regard to the nomenclature and classifi- 

 cation of the Echini. a. e. v. 



6. Bermuda in Periodical Literature, with occasional reference 

 to Other Works. A Bibliography ; by George Watson Cole. 

 Pp. 2 75, with portrait of the author and 8 fac-simile reproduc- 

 tions of the title-pages of ancient works on Bermuda, 1907. 

 Published by the author, Riverside, Conn. — This is a reprint 

 (with additions) of a series of articles on this subject published 

 during several years past in the Bulletin of Bibliography. It 

 contains the titles of 1382 works. A large part of the articles 

 noticed are on scientific subjects, especially zoology, botany, and 

 geology. The author has in most cases given a synopsis of the 

 contents of such papers, often with complete lists of species 

 recorded for the first time, together with other matters of import- 

 ance. In the case of historical and descriptive works, extracts 

 of notable or important passages are also given. The work is 

 an exceedingly useful one for any one interested in the Bermudas. 

 For the student of its flora or fauna it is indispensable. Many 

 titles which were received too late for insertion in their regu- 

 lar places are included in the supplements, and, as a matter of 

 course, a few were overlooked, but it is remarkably complete.

7. Notes on the Parasites of Bermuda Fishes / by Edwin 

 B. Linton. Proc. IT. S. Nat. Mus. xxxiii, No. 1560, pp. 85-126, 

 15 plates, 1907. — This includes the results of the studies made 

 by Professor Linton, while at the Bermuda Biological Station in 

 the summer of 1903. In addition to the large number of species 

 described, many of which are new, the author gives a list, of con- 

 siderable length, of the fishes examined and the parasites found 

 in them. Also notes on the food contents. This is a pioneer 

 work on the internal fish-parasites of that locality, few if any 

 having been recorded previously. a. e. v.

 IT. The Fishes of North Carolina; by Hugh M. Smith. Pp xi, 

 453, with 21 plates and 188 figures. Raleigh (E. M. Uzzell& Co. 

 1907). — The state of North Cai'olina is naturally divided into three 

 sections, each peculiar in the character of its waters and hence 

 more or less so in its fish fauna. These include the coastal plain, 

 the Piedmont plateau, and the Appalachian mountain region.
