 THE BUTTERFLIES OF AUSTRALIA:

(London) says: "The study of the butterflies of Australia is certain to be greatly advanced by the appearance of this admirable work, containing 43 excellent quarto plates, of which 4 are coloured. In addition to this abundant and most necessary illustration in plates, the reader is provided with numbers of text-figures as well as a valuable map-index of localities.… A concluding section, with 'Notes on Collecting and Collections,' complete the work by rendering it a sufficient guide to the beginner. The keen Australian naturalist is now provided with a foundation upon which to build."

AN INTRODUCTION TO THE GEOLOGY OF NEW SOUTH WALES.


 * "Students are greatly indebted to Mr. Süssmilch for the able manner in which he has presented in compact form all that is known at the present time on the subject.… The illustrations throughout are excellent, but the coloured geological map which serves as a frontispiece is a model of what such a map should be, avoiding the opposite evils of overcrowding and meagreness. Mr. Süssmilch's book should be of value, not only to students in the colleges, but to those practical miners who are also students."
