_Nature._ An excellent book, written by a man who is equally in his element whether he writes as an outdoor naturalist or as a laboratory student. This combination is by no means a common one, and it is just the combination that is wanted for a book of this kind.... Altogether the book is an admirable one. _Athenæum._ A book that may be judiciously placed in the hands of any boy who evinces a reasonable interest in the animal life around him. +The Classification of Flowering Plants.+ By ALFRED BARTON RENDLE, M.A. (Cantab.), D.Sc.

With 187 illustrations. 10_s._ 6_d._ net. _Gardener’s Chronicle._ Numerous illustrations and an excellent index add to the value of the work. We heartily congratulate the author on the partial accomplishment of a difficult and laborious task. The part before us does but whet our appetite for what is to follow. _Athenæum._ The first instalment of a text book which will well represent the state of our knowledge in the early years of the century. In the present volume the Gymnosperms and the Monocotyledons alone are dealt with; but they are treated with such excellent co-ordination of detail and such clear-headed sense of proportion, that we eagerly await the publication of the next instalment. +The Origin and Influence of the Thorough-bred Horse.+ By W. RIDGEWAY, Sc.D., F.B.A., Disney Professor of Archæology and Fellow of Gonville and Caius College. Demy 8vo. With 143 illustrations. 12_s._ 6_d. net_. _Westminster Gazette._ There has never been a more learned contribution to equine literature than Professor Ridgeway’s comprehensive and exhaustive book. _Spectator._ It would be difficult for Professor Ridgeway to write a book which did not contain at least one wholly novel thesis, and the present work is no exception to his practice. It is also an encyclopaedia of information on the history of the _Equidae_, collected from every source, from post-Pleiocene deposits to modern sporting newspapers. No detail escapes the author’s industry, and ... the result is a monument of sound learning, unique of its kind. +Manual of Practical Morbid Anatomy+, being a Handbook for the Post-mortem Room. By H.
