THE CAMBRIDGE NATURAL HISTORY.

Edited by S. F. Harmer, M.A, Fellow of King's College, Cambridge, Superintendent of the University Museum of Zoology; and A. E. Shipley, M.A., Fellow of Christ's College, Cambridge, University Lecturer on the Morphology of Invertebrates.

_To be completed in Ten Volumes. 8vo. price 17s. net each._

Intended in all respects to be a Standard Natural History accurate enough to be of use to the Student, and at the same time popular enough for the general reader who desires trustworthy information as to the structure and habits of all members of the Animal Kingdom, from the Protozoa to the Mammals. The Volumes are fully illustrated by original figures drawn where possible from nature. When complete, the Series is one which should be indispensable in all libraries, whether public or private.

_NOW READY._

Cambridge.

POLYZOA. By S. F. Harmer, M.A., Fellow of King's College, Cambridge.

_NATURAL SCIENCE._--"This second volume of the Cambridge Natural
History is certain to prove a most welcome addition to English
Zoological literature. It deals with a series of animal groups, all
deeply interesting to the specialist in Morphology; some important
from their economic relations to other living things, others in
their life-histories rivalling the marvels of fairy-tales. And
the style in which they are here treated is also interesting:
history and the early observations of the older writers lend their
charm; accounts of habits, and mode of occurrence, of life, in a
word, from the cradle to the grave, are given in ample detail,
accompanied by full references to modern and current literature.
The whole is admirably illustrated."

SHELLS.

VOLUME III.

MOLLUSCS AND BRACHIOPODS. By the Rev. A. H. Cooke, M.A., A. E.
Shipley, M.A., and F. R. C. Reed, M.A.

_FIELD._--"We know of no book available to the general reader which
affords such a vast fund of information on the structure and habits
of molluscs."

_DAILY NEWS._--"Promises to be, in its own department of science,
the most important work of the day.... This large and exhaustive
work is written especially for general readers. No special training
in science is needed for the easy comprehension of this first
volume at any rate. But while the writers treat their respective
subjects in what is called a popular way, they are careful to give
due importance to the latest results of scientific research.... The
volume is liberally and admirably illustrated."

_KNOWLEDGE._--"If succeeding volumes are like this one, the
Cambridge Natural History will rank as one of the finest works on
natural history ever published."

_WESTMINSTER REVIEW._--"Should find a place in the library of every
naturalist."

INSECTS and CENTIPEDES.

VOLUME V.

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.
