=BIRDS OF THE BRITISH ISLES=
Drawn and Described by JOHN DUNCAN.
This volume contains about 400 drawings of birds by John Duncan, naturalist and artist. The drawings are accompanied by a concise description of each bird.
* * * * *
Mr. Chas. Dixon, in the Introduction to this work, says:--"Just a century ago, British naturalists and the British public were captivated by the first volume of Bewick's classic _History of British Birds_--a work, completed by the issue of the second volume seven years later, that gave more or less accurate pictures of all the species, and one that has retained a high place in the affections of ornithologists and artistic people generally down to the present time. To a certain extent, Mr. Duncan's volume very closely resembles the immortal engraver on wood; and in some respects, as those who have the pleasure of inspecting his remarkable series of drawings will find for themselves, it is superior. The present book, so far as British birds are concerned, is practically unique. For the first time, an up-to-date manual, containing an accurate and artistic picture of every species, is placed within the reach of the multitude by reason of its very modest price."

The Natural History of Digestion.
BY A. LOCKHART GILLESPIE, M.D., F.R.C.P. ED., F.R.S. ED.
Dr. Gillespie, who has long been known as an original investigator in this department of physiology, has in the present volume attempted to bring together all the facts and recent discoveries bearing on this subject of great scientific and practical importance. Dealing with the subject in much detail, as well as broadly and comprehensively, the book appeals both to medical specialist and general reader. The author shows that digestion is a process which occurs throughout animated nature, and beginning with digestion in plants, and describing many original and other experiments with carnivorous plants, he passes on to digestion in the lower animals, and then deals fully with the many complicated problems offered by digestion in the higher animals and man. The practical questions of diet are examined in their various aspects, and the influence of alcohol, tea, and other stimulants discussed.

Degeneracy: ITS CAUSES, SIGNS, AND RESULTS.
By Professor EUGENE S. TALBOT, M.D., Chicago.
This volume presents, in a simple and comprehensive way, the basis of fact on which the speculations of Nordau and others have been founded. It is the first book written in English by a competent authority dealing broadly with this subject. The author deals with more especial fulness with the signs of degeneracy in the head and face--ears, jaws, teeth, etc.--as those which he has chiefly studied, and which are of most general interest; but he also discusses degeneracy in the body generally, as well as its mental forms. The chief causes tending to produce degeneracy in modern life are discussed--heredity, climate, foods, alcohol, education, etc.--and the methods of combating them considered. The book is fully illustrated, chiefly from original photographs.

'_We seem at last to be shown men and women as they are; and at first it is more than we can endure.... All Ibsen's characters speak and act as if they were hypnotised, and under their creator's imperious demand to reveal themselves. There never was such a mirror held up to nature before; it is too terrible.... Yet we must return to Ibsen, with his remorseless surgery, his remorseless electric-light, until we, too, have grown strong and learned to face the naked--if necessary, the flayed and bleeding--reality._'--Speaker (London).
