NATURE NOTES 
Edwin, not Edward ; and the common Bladder-wrack is Fiutis vesiculosus, not 
versiculus or versiculosus as it appears on p. 313 and on fig. 117 ; but these, after 
all, are small matters. The illustrations are excellent, and both these and the 
letterpress are so comprehensively varied that the volume will form a welcome 
gift to any boy or girl sojourner by the sea.

How to Attract and Protect Wild Birds. By Martin Hiesemann. Translated by 
Emma S. Buchheim. With an introduction by the Duchess of Bedford. 
Illustrated. 8f in. x 5J in. Pp. 86. Witherby and Co. Price is. 6d. net. 
This is a detailed account of the nesting-boxes, food-house, food-bell, &c. , 
designed after a careful study of the habits of birds by Baron von Berlepsch at 
Seebach, in Thuiingia. Some of these appliances can be seen at the offices of 
the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds, where four different sizes of 
nesting-box can be purchased. The pamphlet, which is well got up in a stout 
cover, also gives much interesting information as to bird protection on the 
Continent, and the formation of shelter-woods by pruning in districts where birds 
are scarce.
