BOOK NOTICE— THE TEACHING OF BIOLOGY, BY F. E. LLOYD 
AND M. A. BIGELOW. 
A. J. Grout. 
It is not often that The Bryologist feels called upon to review books on 
other subjects than those to which it professes to devote itself. However, so 
many of our readers are also teachers that we feel they will thank us for 
calling their attention to this book which is not merely excellent in theory, 
but is full of practical hints and suggestions as to material and method. 
No teacher of biology or nature study can read this book without being 
helped. It is almost needless to say that Prof. Lloyd treats of Botany and 
Prof. Bigelow of Zoology. 
It is published by Longmans, Green & Co. (in the American Teachers" 
Series), New York, 8vo., $1.50.
