in the present volume, which lies, we are told, between the Severn and the Forest 
of Dean, is very largely a sub-tropical garden, in which, as may be seen in the 
illustration Mr. Stock kindly allows us to reproduce, luxuriate palms, bananas and 
bamboos. With much pleasant description of his garden’s charms, the Curator 
mingles useful information as to the treatment of such a garden, though we 
hardly expected to find an appendix on the loss of control by the will centre over 
the emotional system. We wish the author had asked his friends the Padre and 
the Professor to correct his proofs, as too many of the scientific names have 
slipped through mis-spelt. The book contains twenty-six beautiful photographic 
illustrations. 
The Cloud World , its Features and Significance. By Samuel Barber. Elliot 
Stock. 
Personal observations extending over forty years must always be received with 
gratitude and respect ; but this sense of indebtedness to the author is perhaps

general interest as clouds. Though with no pretension to writing a form 
“animal” clouds (Frac/o- Cumulus).

treatise on his subject, Mr. Barber, with the help of over thirty beautiful illustra- 
tions, mostly from photographs, one of which we are enabled to reproduce here, 
has given us a most attractive volume. It contains a very full glossary of terms 
used in describing clouds. 
The Irish Naturalist for June contains, among other interesting matter, 
articles on the spring rivalry of birds, and on the leaf-spots of Arum maculatum. 
The University of Colorado Studies, No. 3 (Price 50 cents), contains a pre- 
liminary list of the birds of Boulder county and a brief anatomical 1 aper on the 
cotyledons of certain Fapilionacecc.
