NATURE NOTES 
return from stations other than the one booked to. Mr. Miles is as severely 
practical as usual ; but no one surpasses him in clearness of direction. The 
Selborne Society’s excursions have often included the picturesque church of 
Oxted, of which the publishers have kindly lent us a view, and the whole dis- 
trict is so near at hand as to be peculiarly attractive to the less active or more 
leisurely pedestrian. 
New Ramble Routes in Middlesex and Herts. By Noah Weston. 5J inches x 
inches. Pp. 48. R. E. Taylor and Son. Price 6d. net. 
This addition to an invaluable series deals with the country between Enfield, 
Barnet and Edgware. The author gives a useful prefatory historical account 
of the district, and there are sixteen photographic views in the volume. We 
have tested the description of the rambles by following one over a route we 
had never before traversed ; and though, as the writer warns us, building opera- 
tions had already introduced a road unmentioned in his account, we never had 
any difficulty in following the directions given.

These two garden books, the eleventh and twelfth of the series edited by

preceded them. 
The Irish Naturalist for September, issued at the usual price of sixpence, is a 
special Cork Conference number, comprising 52 pp., and no less than fourteen 
excellent whole-page plates. The reports of the week’s meeting of Field Clubs 
cover the whole range of Natural History from geology and botany to malacology, 
and most sections of entomology, the study of vertebrates and that of prehistoric 
archceology. 
The University of Colorado Studies, Vol. IV., No. 4, contains a clavis of the 
Bees of Boulder County, by Professor T. D. A. Cockerell, comprising 175 species ; 
and also a similar key to the Protozoa of the University campus, by the same 
author. 
Knowledge for September contains, inter alia, some supplementary remarks on 
Dew Ponds, by Mr. E. A. Martin. 
The Botanical Gazette of Chicago for July, maintains an exceptionally high 
standard of original work. It comprises papers on Hybridisation in Qinothera, 
the Anatomy of the Melanostomaceous Rhexia,\h^ Sporangium of Ophioglossales, 
and the Pools of a Lycopodium, with six plates. 
Nature Reader Monthly for September (Messrs. Charles and Dible), is in most 
respects as good as usual. It is, however, a pity to apply the terms spores and 
zoospores to the antherozoids of ferns. 
The Young Citizen for September is as good as ever, but jierpetuates an 
amusing printer’s error in our August issue. Our printer “ran on” the heading 
“ Board of Agriculture Leaflets” at the end of our notice of the Young Citizen 
Butterfly-case, and accordingly our notice is now reproduced and credited to the 
Board of Agriculture!
