"If there be any person who thinks that White's 'Selborne' relates to a time and place so far off that there can be no truth in the book, and who yet would like to try upon himself the study of some local natural history on the spot of which it treats, and comparing it with the things themselves in situ. let him repair to Weymouth, and work and walk up and down its cliffs and valleys with Mr. Damon's book in his hand."-Prof. Rolleston's Presidential Address, British Association, 1870.

SEASIDE STUDIES IN NATURAL HISTORY. By ELIZABETH C. AGASSIZ and ALEXANDER AGASSIZ. Illustrated. New edition. 1 vol. 8vo. 3 dols.

"Here is another addition to the scientific literature of the day, under the name of Agassiz It is a volume wanted by those learned in science, and who throng the sea-shore in the summer time for recreation. This volume will add another interest to the fringed edges of the garrulous sea-It will induce men and women to go down to it, and study the laws of the Creator in the shell and fishes it casts along its shores. The English people have plenty of books of this nature, but we have none before this especially adapted to our latitude. It is not exclusively confined to the specific marine animals along our shore, it also branches out in its generalisations, so that it becomes a manual of natural history. Its illustrations are various and distinct, and the general reader as well as the scholar in natural history will find himself easily introduced to some of the great principles underlying the animal creation. The drawings were mostly taken from nature by Alexander Agassiz, and the text written by Mrs. Agassiz, with the assistance which she derived from the quality, and do credit to the far-famed University Press of Welch, Bigelow, & Co"-Boston Post.

HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT and PILLS are an infallible remedy for bad legs and all kinds of wounds. The surprising sale of these invaluable medicines in every part of the civilised world is the most convincing proof of their efficacy, of which, were further proof required, the long list of voluntary testimonials received from grateful patients in all quarters of the globe would amply supply it. They speedily cure bad legs, old wounds, scrofula, and all diseases of the skin. Thousands of persons who had long and severely suffered from these dreadful maladies have been cured by these medicaments after every other means had failed; and it is a fact beyond all doubt that there is no case, however obstinate, or however long standing, which they fail to relieve.

THE MODES of ORIGIN of LOWEST ORGANISMS, including a discussion of the Experiments of M. Pasteur, and a reply to some statements by Professors Huxley and Tyndall By H. CHARLTON BASTIAN, M. D., F.R.S., Professor of Pathological Anatomy in University College, London.

"It is a work worthy of the highest respect, and places its writer in the very first class of scientific physicians. Such investigations lie at the basis of progress in the investigation of the nature and modes of disease, and it would be difficult to name an instance in which skill, knowledge, perseverance, and great reasoning power have been more happily applied to the investigation of a complex biological problem."-British Medical Journal.

"It is quite impossible to accept these experiments and to hold to the Germ Theory. Those who maintain it have first to displace the remarkable results recorded in Dr. Bastian's book."-Saturday Review.

AT LAST: A Christmas in the West INDIES. BY CHARLES KINGSLEY. With numerous Illustrations. "The book is both instructive and amusing. Mr. Kingsley's powers of observation and description are great, and both botanist and geologist will acknowledge that he has used eyes and brain to good account in order to produce this book, which will be very interesting and attractive alike to the scientific naturalist, the politician, and the general reader."-Globe.

"In this work Mr. Kingsley revels in the gorgeous wealth of West Indian vegetation, bringing before us one marvel after another, alternately sating and piquing our curiosity. Whether we climb the cliffs with him, and peer over into narrow bays which are being hellowed out by the trade surf, or wander through impenetrable forests, where the tops of the trees form a green cloud overhead, or gaze down glens which are watered by the clearest brooks, running through masses of palm and banana, and all the rich variety of foliage, we are equally delighted and amazed.
