R Note Concerning Part VII. 



When a part work has reached its sixth instalment' -subscribers are in a position to judge of its entire character, and 

 can estimate the general contents of succeeding parts. Still, a few notes on the salient features of the seventh part will not 

 be unwelcome. 



There is a beautiful opening plate by Mr. H. Seppings Wright shewing 



THE PLANET JUPITER 



as it would be seen if we could stand upon its nearest satellite and w^atch the belted planet. The story of 



PEARLS AND THE PEARL-OYSTER 



which is begun on the last page of this part is told in detail. Several beautiful photographs of pearls and their makers help 

 the description. Mr. Ernest Marriage has a note on a curious 



PARASITE OF THE HOUSE-FLY 



with enlarged photomicrographs. Sir Harry Johnston, G.C.M.G.. writes upon those birds of eccentric appearance, 



THE HORNBILLS 



and their peculiar nesting habits. Mr. Edw^ard Step, F.L.S., has a chapter upon the interestingly-repulsive fungus known as 



THE STINKHORN 



beloved of w^oodland flies, whilst his photographs show its progress from the egg-like early conditions to full growth.
