PERIPATUS. By Adam Sedgwick, M.A., F.R.S. MYRIAPODS. By F. G. Sinclair, M.A. INSECTS. Part I. By David Sharp, M.A. Cantab., M.B. Edin., F.R.S.

_FIELD._--"Although written for the student and the specialist, the book is not the less adapted to all intelligent readers who wish to make themselves thoroughly acquainted with the habits, structure, and the modern classification of the animals of which it treats. To such it cannot be recommended too strongly."

_ATHENÆUM._--"This book will find a place in the library of most entomologists, prove a welcome boon to weak brethren who are compelled to lecture--_docenda discimus_--and occupy by the side of Westwood's 'Modern Classification' and Burmester's 'Manual' a niche that has long-been empty."

_NATURE NOTES._--"When the following volume is completed, Mr. Sharp's work will, we think, last for many years as the standard text-book on Entomology in England."

_SCIENCE PROGRESS._--"The work is excellently illustrated, and besides being full of interest for the general reader will prove extremely useful to the student."

⁂ The next Volumes to appear will be Vol. IX. on BIRDS, by Mr. A. H. Evans, and Vol. VII. on FISHES and Kindred Forms, by Professor Bridge, and other contributors. These will be published in the course of 1897, and the remaining Volumes are all in active progress.
