POPULAR HISTORY OF BRITISH SEA-WEEDS ; comprising 
a familiar and technical description of the Mahine Plants 
inhabiting the shores of the British Isles. By the Rev. David 
Landsborough, A.L.S., Member of the Wernerian Society of 
Edinburgh. 
“ Just as the people are migrating from the metropohs and the dingy manu- 
facturing towns, to the open and free space where the land meets the ocean, Mr. 
Landsborough supplies them with a familiar and beautiful description of some of 
the wonders they will see there, helping to amuse and instruct them, and pointing 
out to them many objects of curiosity that might otherwise escape their attention. 
The book is as well executed as it is well timed. The descriptions are scientific 
as well as popular, and the plates are clear and explicit. Not only the forms, 
but the uses of Algse, are minutely described. It is a worthy sea-side com- 
panion — a hand-book for every occasional or permanent resident on the sea- 
shore.” — Economist, 
“ This charming contribution to the study of a very interesting branch of 
Natural History combines scientific correctness with artistical beauty .” — Literary 
Gazette. 
In one vol. royal I6mo, with twenty plates of figures and 
two plates of fructification. Price 10s. coloured.

POPULAR BRITISH ORNITHOLOGY; comprising aU the 
British Birds. By P. H. GOSSE, Author of ‘ Birds of 
Jamaica,’ ‘ The Ocean,’ &c. 
“ To render the subject of ornithology clear, and its study attractive, has been the 
great aim of the author of this beautiful little volume. It contains descriptions of 
all our British birds, with the exception of stragglers, not likely to faU in the 
way of the young naturalist. It is embellished by upwards of 70 figures of British 
birds beautifully coloured .” — Morning Herald. 
“ Goes over every month of the year, figures the birds naturally in coloured 
plates, describes them and their habits well, and is a capital manual for youthful 
naturalists .” — Literary Gazette. 
“ This book was much wanted and will prove a boon of no common value, 
containing, as it does, the names, descriptions, and habits of all the British birds. 
It ought to find a place on the shelves of every book-case.” — Mirror. 
In one vol. royal I6mo, with twenty plates of figures. 
Price 7s. plain ; 10^. 6^/. coloured.
