We have just received the Fifth Annual Report of the Horniman Museum 

 and Library, Forest Hill, for 1906. It is an excellent record of a good 

 year's work, and is sold at one penny. 



The Yorkshire Geolog-ical Society recently held its Annual Meethig- at 

 Sheffield. The annual report stated that the principal event of the year had 

 been the loss of the services of the Rev. W. Lower Carter as Secretary. 

 The new Secretaries appointed were the Rev. W. Lower Carter and Mr. 

 Cosmo Johns. 



We have received the first part of the Bulletin of the Brooklyn Con- 

 cholog-ical Club. It is well printed and illustrated, and contains several 

 interesting- notes, one being entitled, ' Shall we have an American Con- 

 chological Society ' ? The Bulletin is sold for 10 cents by the Kruger- Wheat 

 Book Co. , at 1 1 7, East Twenty-third Street, New York ! 



The Fifty-eighth Annual Report of the Ipswich Museum and Library 

 includes several fine illustrations of Anglo-Saxon Antiquities found near 

 Ipswich. These were exhibited and described by Miss Layard at the York 

 Meeting of the British Association. Amongst the collection, which is un- 

 usually rich, are several finely-ornamented fibulae. 



Mr. Norman H. Joy records a new British beetle, Cryptophagus pallidus 

 Sturm., in the December 'Entomologist's Monthly Magazine.' Specimens 

 were found amongst dead leaves near Lowther Castle, Westmorland, and at 

 Great Salkeld. In Mr. Joy's opinion there are probably several examples 

 of C. pallidus amongst C. dentatus in collections. 



The Fifth Annual Report of the Advisory Committee of the Lister Park 

 Botanical Committee, Bradford, is to hand. We notice that the provision 

 of plants has involved only the most trifling expense on the public funds. 

 Nearly the whole of the plants in the Garden have been received as gifts. 

 Teachers regularly visit the Gardens, and they are also of service to the 

 local students.
