Miscellaneous Papers on Scientific Subjects, by Major BURT, is

▪ collection of articles which have for the most part already ap- peared in various periodicals. From the nature of the topics they embrace, their interest is of course limited; ranging, as the author does, from Indian Antiquities to the Atmosphere of the Moon,sand
