wrapper and title-page, there is no other intimation of the absence of all mention 
of birds or fish. The classes, orders and some families are characterised in 
simple language, popular names are given and there are brief and distinctly 
educational notes on many species. As presumably the publication is intended 
for an educational rather than a purely scientific purpose, no authorities are 
added to the scientific names. We hope the Department will arrange for the 
preparation of coloured wall diagrams or lantern slides of the chief genera for 
use in the schools of the province.

abstracts of many papers read which have reference to the North of England.
