Camps in the Cauibees : The Adventures of a Naturalist 
in the Lesser Antilles. By Fred. A. Obev. Lee & Shepard, Bos¬ 
ton, Publishers. 
Just one year ago wo promised our readers that our special 
roving commissioner, “Fred Beverly” {as he is best known), 
would Boon give them a book recounting his two years’ experi¬ 
ences in'.the “ Lesser Antilles,” whither he had gone to study the 
avi-fauna of the country, and collect landscape views and general 
notes. lie has now completed Ids work—a beautiful illustrated 
crown Svo volume of 330 pages, replete with strange narratives, 
gracefully presented In most attractive form and color of lan¬ 
guage, and deserving- a place not only In the library of every nat¬ 
uralist, but of every one fond of natural objects. Wo can hardly 
imagine a more interesting Held of scientific pursuit than these 
Windward Islands; yet, when wc open (he pages of tills book, we 
do not wonderat tbe selection of the author, or bis determination 
to re-visit them some day henoe and complete his investigations. 
Weird soeues and strange creatures greet the traveller at every 
turn—tropical in character, it is true, but not of the tropic stere¬ 
otype with which wo are bo familiar. Beetles as long us your hand, 
the biggest in the world, grow there. Processions of crabs march 
up from the sea by millions at stated seasons, and in the spring 
march down again. There are boiling Iakesof water; mysterious, 
lonely birds, which live only on mountain tops, where they are 
often heard, but never seen; another bird called “Lo Solid 
Couelier," which sings only at sunset and sunrise; ancient sacri¬ 
ficial stones covered with hieroglyphics; fair Carih girls, with 
blonde hair fully down to their feet; huge vampires, less pleasant 
to meet; roots which are deadly poison whon raw, hut wholesome 
and nutritious whon cooked; and a thousand other objects of like 
interest. 
But the writer’s notes are not all of wilderness places, by any 
means. There arc pretty towns and cities, like those of Basse¬ 
terre in Guadeloupe and St. Pierre in Martinique, with well- 
lighted stone piers, quays shaded by trees, pure water conduits 
through the streels, handsome shops and bouses, oud every evi¬ 
dences of polite and good society. There are memorial temples 
and statues, lagoons liko those of Venice on which barges float 
beneath overhanging trees, shaded avenues, and iron-fenoed 
parks. 
Throughout all the book thoro runs a remarkable vein of dry 
humor, which not only helps to diversify it, but keeps the reader 
on tiptoe for something still more quaint to come. The author 
always pokes fun at his own misfortunes, and treats mishaps as 1 E 
they were mere little side shows all down In the bill, and the play 
would not ho complete without them. In the appendix is a list of 
twenty new varieties of birds discovered by him. Altogether the 
book is most creditable to the author. We trust it may prove as 
remunerative. 
Practical Taxidermy and Home Decoration : Together 
with General Information for Sportsmen. By Joseph H. Batty; 
123 Illustrations; NewYork: Orange Judd Company, 215 Broad¬ 
way, 1880. 
Mr. Joseph H. Batty has been a taxidermist for sixteen years. 
He was the official taxidermist of the Northern Boundary Survey; 
has spent months in collecting specimens of game, and has filled 
orders for several of our most important scientific and educa¬ 
tional institutions. His book on “ How to Hunt and Trap,” has 
already taken the highest place among books of its class, and we 
predict a liko success for the volume now before us. Mr. Batty Is 
a very practical man. He lias prepared this manual of instruction 
in his art, because he has recognized the need of it. It is a thor¬ 
ough work, written by a taxidermist Tor taxidermists. We have 
no hesitation in pronouncing this the very best work on the sub¬ 
ject now published. The many enquiries we are receiving for in¬ 
structions evince an increasing interest in this beautiful art, and 
it gives us much pleasure to recommend to all amateurs the 
“Practical Taxidermy." The Illustrations are copious and judi¬ 
cious, and the text plain and Intelligible. 
—Mr. Chan. Lanman, well known to the readers 7* 
Forest and Stream as an enthusiastic sportsmaf ' 
entertaining -writer, has just performed a great 
Of love in preparing the life of Octavius Perinchief. "i 
subject of the memoir was a most remarkable mai 
Episcopal clergyman who suffered mental and phy 
agony in the extreme. We spoke of Mr. Lanman’s 
labor of love, and we may further explain that he 
written this book for the benefit of the destitute wit 
and orphans to whom the proceeds go. It is pub]it 
by James Anglim & Co., Wasliington. We need 
suggest that Mr. Lanman’s friends should aid him in tl 
aiding his friends. 
Col. J. B. Oliver. —That very prosperous and ably 
edited journal, the Mining Record, has recently added an 
Iron Department to its pages, and placed Col. J. B. Oliver 
in charge. Mr. Oliver was the founder and first propri¬ 
etor of that excellent monthly, the tlorida New Yorker, 
and shows abundant capacity for his new field of labor. 
The Iron Department of the Mining Record is certainly 
one of its leading features. 
The Minor Planets. — Of the two hundred and nine 
minor planets now known, one hundred and fifty-five 
have been discovered by ten astronomers. The list is as 
follows : — Peters, 38 ; Watson, 23 ; Palisa, 21 ; Luther, 
20 ; Goldschmidt, 14 ; Borrelly, 9; Hind, 9; De Gasparis, 7 ; 
Prosp. Henry, 7 ; and Hogson, 7. The whole number of 
discoverers is thirty-three.
