I go a-walking. " (T. N. FouHs, Edinburg-h.) Under this heading- three 

 sixpenny pamphlets have been issued, containing loo pages in all, and 

 constitute a volume. We understand three others are to follow, which will 

 form a second volume, though the whole six would be a by no means -thick 



Young Wagtails. 



book. The parts already published are entitled 'Throug-h the Country 

 Lanes,' 'Through the Meadows,' and 'By the Stream and Lake.' Each 

 contains a magnificent set of appropriate illustrations, from photographs, 

 respecting which we have nothing but praise. One of these we are kindly 

 permitted to reproduce. The accompanying letterpress, however, is but 

 scrappy, and has been culled from various sources. 



The Essex Field Club has issued a useful ' Year Book and Calendar 

 for 1905-6' (is. net). It contains the fixtures for the year, a record of the 

 club's work, reports of the council, treasurer, and other official matters. 

 There are illustrations from photographs of the Essex Museum and Queen 

 Elizabeth's Lodge, Epping Forest. A photograph of Mr. William Cole, the 

 founder of the club, and for 25 years its secretary, appears as frontispiece. 



Mineralogy. By Frank Rutley, F.Q.S. Fourteenth Edition. 

 Thomas Murby & Co. 



This excellent little manual can be thoroughly recommended to all 

 students interested in the fascinating study of mineralogy. It forms a very 

 suitable introduction to this study, and Mr. Rutley's reputation is a sufficient 

 guarantee of the accuracy of the matter contained therein. 



A Junior Course of Practical Zoology. By the late A. Milnes 

 Marshall and the late C. Herbert Hurst. Sixth Edition. Smith, 

 Elder & Co. 1905. 



A new edition of this well-known handbook has just been issued, having 

 been revised by Dr. F. W. Gamble, of the Manchester University. In the 

 present edition accounts of Mo)iocystis, Cocctdiiiffi, and Obelia have been 

 added, and throughout the text has been brought up to date. Dr. Gamble 

 has used every care to present the latest information before the student. 

 By a judicious arrangement of clarendon type, capitals, etc., the principal 

 parts are easily caught by the eye. There is also a wealth of illustrations, 

 which have been very carefully selected. But the fact that the work has 

 reached a sixth edition speaks for itself. The printers have done their 

 share of the work well.
