Nature Photography : British Mammals and Birds. 174 pp. 
This book certainly has a chapter on the camera, etc., but most of it is 
occupied by ‘ Where our summer migrants spend their winter,’ ‘ Some 
British Birds,’ and descriptions of various species, apparently taken 
from previous writings of this author. On the wrapper it states the book 
is by Westell and Sedgwick, but on the title page the former is given in 
very large type, while the second in small type states that illustrations 
and notes are by him. British Natural History Studies. 118 pp. 
Similar remarks to the preceding also apply to this volume. Stories of 
Deep Sea Fish, by Frank T. Bullen. 194 pp. Most of our readers 
are familiar with the character of Mr. Bullen ’s stories, and this book 
seems particularly liable to interest young readers. Stories of Whales 
and Other Sea Creatures, by Frank T. Bullen. 148 pp. This 
probably will prove the most popular of the four volumes mentioned, 
each of which is issued at 3/- net, has numerous plates, and is published 
at the Boy’s Own Paper Office, 4 Bouverie Street, E.C.4. 
Nature’s Curiosity Shop, by Richard Kerr. 178 pp. From the 
same office appears this volume. It has some excellently coloured 
plates, and also numerous plain ones, and we can particularly recommend 
it to the notice of the young naturalist. The volume covers a wide 
field, and its nature may be judged from the following main headings : 
Advantages of the Study of Nature ; Remarkable Birds ; Marvels of 
Plant Life ; Marvels of Marine Life ; Mimicry in Natute ; Miscellaneous 
Objects. The coloured plates include those of the Dodo, Hornbills, 
The Roseate Spoonbill, American Flamingo, Green Woodpecker, The 
Apteryx of Kiwi and its Enormous Egg, Head of a young Heron, Dove 
Plant ; a Papago Indian sliced off the top of the Bisnaga Cactus ; Milking 
the Aloe ; The Snake Nut, and ten others. Bearing upon the alleged 
molluscan remains on page 240 of The Naturalist for July ; Plate XV. in 
this volume has an illustration of “ Giant Corkscrews supposed to be 
marine plants fossilised found in the State of Nebraska.” One of these 
seems to be almost identical with the Sussex specimen .
