An INTRODUCTION To ZOOLOGY. By Robert 
W. Hegner, Ph.D. New Yorks the 
Macmillian Company, 1910. 350 pp.; 
161 illustrations. Price, $1.90 net. 
The text book before us has been de- 
signed to cover the field of the introductory 
course in zoology which is now given at 
several of the leading universities, courses 
dealing with invertebrate types only, and 
followed by a course on vertebrate types 
during the second half year. This explains 
some of the omissions which are to be 
found in works of this character, and why 
only a few animals belonging to the very 
important phyla, as viewed from an evolu- 
tionary standpoint, are considered. These 
few types, however, are intensively studied 
in an endeavor to teach the fundamental 
principles of zoology in a way that is not 
possible without a superficial examination 
of types from all the phyla. Morphology, 
instead of being especially emphasized, is 
co-ordinated with physiology, ecology, and 
behavior, thus serving to illustrate by a 
comparative study, the probable course of 
evolution. The animals are treated not as 
inert objects for dissection, but as living 
organisms whose activities are of funda- 
mental importance. An excellent glossary 
has been included which ought to prevent 
the confusion which students usually en- 
counter when suddenly confronted with a 
number of scientific terms. 
Tue GeoLocy oF BuILpING STONES. By 
J. Allen Howe, B.Sc F2GsSaeNew 
York: Longmans, Green & Co., 8vo.; 
455 pp.; illustrated. $2.50 net. 
Students of architecture will find this a 
very edifying collection of facts relating to 
the geology of building stones. As it is an 
English work, naturally it deals particularly 
with those materials found in the British 
Isles, only brief reference being made to the 
stones of other countries. The author has 
had the advantage of assistance and advice 
from prominent architects, quarry owners, 
and merchants, and has been allowed to re- 
produce important figures and plates from 
goverment bulletins and foreign works. 
Tue Art or Cross-EXAMINATION. By 
Francis L. Wellman. New York: The 
Macmillan Company, 1910. 404 pp. 
Price net, $2.50. 
Although the title of this instructive vol- 
ume would seem to indicate that it would 
be of interest only to the reader of legal 
bent or training, this most assuredly is not 
the case. The author, himself a master of 
the difficult art of cross-examination, has 
discussed this important subject with so 
much clearness, and with so complete an 
absence of specifically legal or technical 
terminology, that even the lay reader with- 
out a smattering of the law will find its 
pages of fascinating interest. Portions of 
Mr. Wellman’s book, praticularly those re- 
counting parts of the cross-examination of 
famous cases, can be read with the lively 
pleasure one would accord to a thoroughly 
readable novel. For this second edition 
Mr. Wellman has practically rewritten his 
book, so important are the additions, though 
the first few chapters, as he states, in his 
preface, have been left substantially as they 
were originally formulated. The chapter 
on “Cross-examination of Experts” has 
been rearranged, while chapters have been 
added on “Cross-examination to the Fal- 
lacies of Testimony” and “Cross-examina- 
tion to Probabilities—Personality of the 
Examiner,” etc. In place of Mr. Choate’s 
cross-examination of Russell Sage in the 
third trial, the present volume contains the 
far more amusing and instructive cross- 
examination of the second trial.
