Dr. Keller, the original observer and recorder of these discoveries in the 
Swiss Lakes, has not ceased from his well-directed labours, and, with his 
fellow- workers at Ziirick and elsewhere, has amassed further stores of know- 
ledge about the old Lake -dwellers. Mr. J. E. Lee has continued to gather 
and incorporate in his very useful translation of his learned friend’s book 
the most important results of these well-sustained explorations. The new 
matter, occupying more than 260 pages, and illustrated by 109 new plates, 
gives Dr. Keller’s Seventh Report, with new or enlarged accomits of Morin- 
gen, Liischerz, Schaffis, Yingelz, Auvernier, Oudrefin, Heimenlachen, Con- 
stance, and Schussenried, and of the lakes Bienne, Geneva, Baidegg, Mond, 
Atter, Hallstatt, Neusiedler, and Paladru ; besides places in Northern Italy 
and elsewhere, together with accounts of several special researches on bones, 
stones, canoes, &c. 
Further notes on the Irish Crannoges, by Mr. Kinahan, and the Rev. E. 
Dumbleton’s notice of a Welsh Crannoge, are added. The Irish Bog Cabin, 
described by Mudge in “ Archaeologia,” vol. xxvi., and noticed by Lyell in 
his “ Antiquity of Man,” appears to belong to the same category of struc- 
tures, and might have been mentioned. 
Besides the English pile-structures at London, described by General Lane 
Eox, Mr. Lee might have added the discovery of such piles in the Norfolk 
Meres, due to Sir C. Bunbury, and recognized by Mr. W. M. Wylie in 
“ Archgeologia,” vol. xxxviii., 1859, p. 11 (of the Memoir) ; and we may add 
that indications of pile-dwellings in Berkshire were described by a F.S.A., 
since deceased, before the Wiltshire Archaeological Society-at Hungerford in 
1869. 
Almost at the time of the publication of this compendious new edition, 
further ground was exposed at Estavayer and elsewhere on the Lake of 
Neuchatel by works of drainage made in 1877. Unfortunately, though the 
Cantonal Government reserves the monopoly of search for antiquities, these 
are continually poached and carried off, without systematic observation as to 
their position and character. 
We must congratulate the veteran antiquary of Ziirich on the continua- 
tion of his praiseworthy labours, and on the extension of their results among 
us in this rich, well edited, and excellent translation by Mr. J. E. Lee. The 
scientific researches have been carried on voluntarily and assiduously for the 
benefit of the community ; and the translation and its enlarged edition have 
been evidently a labour of love, and a cordial friendly tribute to the master’s 
worth. 
DEVONIAN AND CARBONIFEROUS FOSSILS.* 
"VrEARLY ten years ago Dr. Bigsby issued a “ Thesaurus Siluricus,’ or 
i - 1 tabular list of described Silurian fossils from all parts of the world, fur- 
nishing in a very condensed form an immense amount of useful information 
upon their distribution in space and time. Since the publication of the 
above work its venerable author has been almost constantlv ens'asred in the 
* “ Thesaurus Devonico-Carb niferus. The Fauna and Flora of the Devo- 
nian and Carboniferous periods. The Genera and Species arranged in tabular 
form, showing their Horizons, Recurrences, Localities, and other facts." By 
John J. Bigsby, M.D., F.R.S., F.G.S. 4to. London : Van Voorst, 1878.
