and is a prominent globular mass. 4 millimetres in diameter. 

 The opposite side of the front of the earapace clearly shows the 

 position formerly occupied by the right eye. 



Dr. Woodward's paper is illustrated by examples of modern 

 representatives of this ancient family of Jurassic Crustaceans, 

 which were secured during the ' Challenger ' Expedition, and to 

 which reference should be made. 



The lower part of the nodule containing the crustacean, is

The Changeling. 1\ Nature Story for Boys and Girls, by Sir Digby 

 PigOtt, C.B. London : Witherby & Co. 183 pp., 2/6 net. 



The sub-title of this little book — ' What a boy whose eyes had been 

 opened, saw of the real life of the wild creatures round his home,' explains 

 its scope. There are a dozen chatty chapters dealing with ' The Bees,' ' The 

 Rooks,' ' The Chff Climbers,' ' The Wild Geese,' ' The Mammoth,' etc., 

 and numerous illustrations (some coloured), by the author and C. Tresidder, 

 add further interest to the book. The story has reference to a boy whom 

 the fairies changed, and enabled him to get an insight into the ways of the 

 birds, and mice, and foxes. On one of his travels he took part in the clifE- 

 climbing on Flamborough Head, of which operation a sketch is given, 

 which looks suspiciously like a well-known picture-postcard view of 

 these ' gallant men ' of Bempton. And ' Tommy ' was particularly lucky 

 when he went to Flamborough, as in the first haul of ' many as good made 

 that day there were a few cormorant's eggs, a clutch of three greenish 

 blotched kittiwake's eggs, and a couple of razor-bill's . . . But nine out of 

 ten were pear-shaped guillemot's eggs.' A good haul indeed, so good, 

 that we wonder if Tommy really was there after all !
