Outlines of Biology. By P. Chalmers Mitchell. (Methuen.)— This is

practically a text-book for the Elementary Biology Examinations of the Royal Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons of England. It seems to us clearly written, interesting in treat- ment, and excellent in its selection and insistence on particular and important points. This last is of great importance to the student. Mr. Mitchell illustrates his work by some good drawings, and has made his little volume as concise and instructive as its object necessitated.
