The Country Month by Month : October. By J. A.

Owen and Prof. G. S. Boulger. (Bliss, Sands, and Foster.)—These are most bandy little reminders of the typical features of each month, and the only question which can arise about them is whether they mention all one knows or wants to know. October is a month so full of interest and movement that sixty pages seems hardly adequate for the innumerable facts of life in all its branches. However, this little volume does its best, and the reader is quite at liberty to add his own notes on the fall of the leaf or the migration of birds.
