A Text - book of Botany. By J. M. Lowson, M.A., B.Sc.,

F.L.S. (W. B. Clive. 6s. 61)—This b ook, which is one of the "Univer- sity Tutorial Series," has been specially designed for the use of students preparing for the London University Intermediate Science and Preliminary Scientific examinations, and it appears well adapted for its object. The appendix, specially written for students working alone, contains much valuable practical information in a very small compass, and appears to us particu- larly good. The book concludes with an excellent index.
