CLASS-BOOKS.—In "Blackwood'a Classical Teats" we have O: id Metamorphoses :

Selections, edited by J. H. Finer, M.A. (W. Blackwood and Sons). Mr. Viner's introduction touches on a subject which is new in classical school books,—comparative folk-lore. It is but a brief notice, but it is interesting and likely to he useful. The illustrations• are an important feature. —Easy Greek Syntax and Exercises. By H. E. Haig-Brown. (Relfe and Co.)—Text-Book of Zoolooy. By Dr. Otto Schmeil. (A. and C. Black. 3s. ad.)—Part L, "Mammals."
