Mr. Edward Step's British Insect Life (Werner Laurie, 10s. 6d.

net) is a competently written introduction to entomology, with many good illustrations.-The same author has compiled an excellent pocket volume on Animal Life in the British Isles (Warne, 10s. 6d. net), which contains detailed accounts of the British fauna, apart from birds, with an abundance of excellent photographs, nearly half of them printed in colours. It is a most useful book.
