POPULAR SCIENCE REVIEW. 
matter (Chapters XXXV., XXX\T[., and XXXVII., of vol. ii.), in 'which Sir 
Charles Lyell fally adopts Darwin’s view of the origin of species, and gives 
one of the hest summaries of the theory of natural selection, and the 
arguments in favour of it, which we have yet seen. The Princiiiles of 
Geology is a work which is too well known to need any commendation from 
us, and we can only say that if there are any of our readers unacquainted 
with it they should no longer remain in so benighted a condition. No man 
who desires to have broad views of natural phenomena should be un- 
familiar with the most charming, most philosophic and truthful romance of 
nature which has ever been written. 
EELIQU^ AQUITANIC^.* 
P ROFESSOR RUPERT JONES continues his editorship of the- 
materials collected by the late Henry Christy, and the fifth part 
of the fine memoir on the pre-historic remains of Perigord is now before 
us. In this number the editor continues his description of the geology of 
the Vezere, and gives an account of certain of the smaller caverns. He also 
inserts a letter from Mr. Anderson, on the similarity of the implements found 
in the caves of Dordogne, to some of those used by the North American 
Indians. This is a most interesting contribution, and as one of the readers 
of the work we beg to offer Professor Jones our hearty thanks. He also 
quotes from a Journey to the Northern Ocean, by Samuel Hearne, a book 
published in Dublin, in 1796, a valuable record of the habits of the 
^‘Western dog-ribbed Indians.” This tribe, at the period spoken of, had 
no knowledge of iron, their weapons being manufactm-ed exclusively from 
bones, teeth, horns, and stone. Several good wood-cuts are here intercalated 
with the letterpress. The plates in Part V. are of their usual scientific and 
artistic excellence. Four of them represent flint weapons, and the fifth is a 
view of Le Moustier on the Vezere, from a sketch by Mr. W. Tipping, and 
shows the hill with its caverns, one of which latter was examined by 
Messrs. Christy and Lartet. This is a -landscape from the press of that 
enterprising lithographer Mr. Vincent Brooks, and forms a very pretty 
picture. When the work is complete, it will form the handsomest and 
most perfect monograph of its kind in any language.
