EXTRACTS FROM RKYIEWS :— 'The authors of this cata- 

 logue may take a pride in their work, which has evidently 

 been executed with most conscientious care. They have 

 given a short introductory exposition of the principles by 

 which they have been guided, and an excellent brief sketch 

 of the physical aspects of Yorkshire, and the summary of 

 the results of their investigation of its Vertebrata. The 

 little book is a most valuable contribution to British zoologi- 

 cal literature.'— Ann. &• Mao-. AW. Hist.
