Doing and Daring. By Eleanor Stroddor. (Nelson and Sons.) —This

is a "New-Zealand Story," and will doubtless furnish entertainment to young readers all the more attractive because the scenes which it presents are novel, and there is in the adven- tures the attraction of their being possible to the reader. The " Bush " is still in existence: and though the country is not a little civilised now, there are rough places and rough people still to be met with.
