College Physiography, by the late Professor Ralph Stockman Tarr (Macmillan

and Co., 15e. net), deals in detail with the features of the earth's surface, whilst Professor J. W. Gregory's Geology of To-day (Seeley, Service, and Co., 5s. net) sets forth the history of their origin. Both are books of the highest authority, written in clear and simple language, which may be strongly commended to the lay reader.-Professor H. W. Shimer's Introduction to the Study of Fossils (Macmillan and Co., 10s. 6d. net) is based on fifteen years' experience in teaching palaeontology to American students.
