Note. 
In Dr. Martin Lister’s tract ‘ De Araneis,’ 1678, the notes on York- 
shire spiders occur on the following pages, 29, 33, 37, 43, 47, 51, 54, 61, 
.65, 67, 75, 81, 82, 90, 91, 99, 100, but whether the spiders Agelena 
labyrinthica, Textvix lycosina, Dolomedes mirabilis ( Pisaura ) Salticus 
sparsus ( Sitticus pubescens), S. coronatus (Evarcha falcata) are the same 
as those at present bearing these names cannot be guaranteed. 
If the first named be correctly identified with the present species 
it is an addition to the county list, but there is no other mention of it as 
a Yorkshire species elsewhere — locality, ‘ circa Eboracum.’ — ‘ alibi eos 
multoties vidi.’

Wild Life in the Tree Tops, by Capt. C. W. R. Knight. London : 
Thornton Butterworth, Ltd., 144 pp., 21/- net. This volume appeals 
to us more from the collection therein of photographs (there are over 
fifty), which it is stated were taken literally in the tree tops. The author 
has specialised among the Buzzards, Hawks, Owls, but has notes on the 
Heron, Crow, Rook, and occasionally refers to Bats, etc. Most of the 
photographs are really very well done. 
Our Resident Birds and How to Know Them ; Our Migrant 
Birds and How to Know Them. Each of these volumes is by E. 
F. M. Elms, is published by Thornton Butterwortn, has twenty -nine 
illustrations from photographs from nature, and is sold at 6/-. The 
descriptions are made as concisely as possible under the heads, ‘ Haunts, 
Observation, Plumage, Language, Habits, Food and Nidification.’ 
There are chapters on How to use the book, and some statistical informa- 
tion. 
In Nature’s Ways, by Marcus Woodward. London : C. A. 
Pearson, Ltd., 222 pages. This little volume is for children, and 
has a Foreword by Mr. W. Mark Webb. It deals with various common 
species of birds, reptiles, mammals, insects, etc. Interesting as the 
chapters may be, however, and the author is evidently a keen disciple 
of Gilbert White, to us the attraction is in the collection of very clever 
sketches by J. A. Shepherd, who hits off the characters of the animals 
admirably. 
Junior Botany, by T. W. Woodhead. Oxford : Clarendon Press, 210 
pp., 3/6. This is an abridged edition of the author’s work, ‘The Study 
of Plants.’ It ought to be a welcome book in schools where the present 
price of the larger book is nearly prohibitive. The subject matter is 
quite as advanced and as thoroughly well treated within the limits 
chosen as in the first book, so that it will fulfil the needs of the students 
in middle and upper classes of Secondary Schools. There is little new 
matter and little change in the mode of presentation.
