ornithologist's text-book. 197 



Rev. F. O. Moms, was wholly uncalled for. It 

 relates to the manner in which his Guide was 

 noticed in the " Ornithological Retrospect,' 1 in 

 the thirteenth number of the Analyst. We have 

 already observed that the criticism of the writer of 

 the Retrospect was unfair, but we cannot perceive 

 the advantage Mr. Morris has derived from reply- 

 ing to the strictures, especially as he has made a 

 somewhat bungled affair of it. If Mr. Morris were 

 to mention as distinct species, all included as such 

 by Gmelin, Lewin, Linnaeus, Fleming, Montagu, 

 and, above all, by Buffon and Bewick, his Guide 

 would indeed be a blind one. — Amongst the Criti- 

 cal Notices in No. 14, is a review of Selby's 

 Pigeons. 



But as we have already occupied considerably 

 more space with our critique of this interesting 

 Journal than our limits can well justify, we must 

 now conclude by again recommending this highly 

 useful and entertaining periodical to the attention 

 of all our readers. To the scientific Naturalist it is 

 indispensable, and few will be found to answer the 

 purposes of the general reader better than The 

 Analyst.

This Journal is of a two-fold nature. The first 

 part of each number contains a variety of interest- 

 ing miscellaneous matter, by the author and other 

 scientific men. The second portion consists of a 

 translation of Cuvier's Regne Animal, with addi- 

 tions by the author. It appears to be well trans-
