Mr. John Murray has issued a cheaper edition of Wild Life at the 
Land’s End, by J. C. Tregarthen (xii. +236 pp., 7s. 6d. net), the first 
edition of which was published in 1904, and was well received. At 
its lower price our readers may care to have this fascinating story, with 
its fine illustrations of the haunts of wild birds, badgers, and men. 
Messrs. Hodder & Stoughton have issued two interesting natural 
history volumes. The first, Wild Life of the Weevil, by J. H. Fabre 
( viii . + 278 pp . , 8s . 6d . net) , deals with the various species of Weevil usually 
met with, and their habits, and with the aid of the translator, Alexander 
Teixeira de Mattos, English readers are now made familiar with the 
numerous interesting episodes in the lives of these usually destructive 
pests. Among the species dealt with are Elephant Weevil, Nut -Weevil, 
Poplar -Weevil, Vine -Weevil, Sloe -Weevil, Pea -Weevil, Haricot -Weevil, 
Iris-Weevil, and many others. Their second volume is entitled Oh, 
Shoot ! by Rex Beach (293 pp., 15s.). The book, in the author’s own 
words, is ‘ a feeble effort to paint the optimistic soul of a sportsman, 
to show how impossible it is to prevent him from having a good time, 
no matter how his luck breaks, and, in a general way, to answer the 
question, Why is a hunter ? ’ He deals with Geese, The Chronicle of a 
Chromatic Bear Hunt, The San Bias People, On the Trail of the Cowardly 
Cougar, Messing around in Mexico ; and his very racy descriptions are 
illustrated by many photographs of natives, scenery, and different forms 
of animal life.
