CAMBRIDGE: PRINTED BY J. AND C.F. CLAY, AT THE UNIVERSITY PRESS.

CAMBRIDGE BIOLOGICAL SERIES.

General Editor, A.E. SHIPLEY, M.A., F.R.S., Fellow and Tutor of Christ's College.

=A Text-Book of Zoogeography.= By FRANK E. BEDDARD, M.A., F.R.S., Prosector of the Zoological Society of London. With 5 Maps. Crown 8vo. 6_s._

=The Elements of Botany.= By FRANCIS DARWIN, M.A., M.B., F.R.S., Fellow of Christ's College. With 94 Illustrations. Crown 8vo. _Second Edition._ 4_s._ 6_d._

_Journal of Education._ A noteworthy addition to our botanical
literature.

=Practical Physiology of Plants.= By FRANCIS DARWIN, M.A., F.R.S., and E. HAMILTON ACTON, M.A. Crown 8vo. With 45 Illustrations. _Second Edition._ 4_s._ 6_d._

_Nature._ The authors are much to be congratulated on their
work, which fills a serious gap in the botanical literature of
this country.

=Lectures on the History of Physiology= during the Sixteenth, Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries. By Sir M. FOSTER, K.C.B., M.P., M.D., D.C.L., F.R.S., Fellow of Trinity College. Demy 8vo. With a Frontispiece. 9_s._

_Nature._ There is no more fascinating chapter in the history
of science than that which deals with physiology, but a concise
and at the same time compendious account of the early history
of the subject has never before been presented to the English
reader. Physiologists therefore owe a debt of gratitude to Sir
Michael Foster for supplying a want which was widely felt.... No
higher praise can be given to the book than to say that it is
worthy of the reputation of its author.... It is by no means an
easy task to do adequate justice to the mine of literary and
historic research which the author has laid open to view.

_Guardian._ We must urge not merely students of physiology, but
all those interested in the history of modern thought, to buy
and read the book.... The present volume has a charm and
fascination which is too often wanting in historical studies.
His portraits live, and live in a live world; they are not mere
dead pictures set in a stereotyped, historical framework.

_Spectator._ We can recommend this admirable and suggestive
book with confidence to all, laymen or doctors, who wish to
trace the gradual growth of man's knowledge of the physical
basis of his life.

=The Soluble Ferments and Fermentation.= By J. REYNOLDS GREEN, Sc.D., F.R.S., Professor of Botany to the Pharmaceutical Society of Great Britain. _Second Edition._ Demy 8vo. 12_s._

_Nature._ It is not necessary to recommend the perusal of the
book to all interested in the subject since it is indispensable
to them, and we will merely conclude by congratulating the
Cambridge University Press on having added to their admirable
series of Natural Science Manuals an eminently successful work
on so important and difficult a theme, and the author on having
written a treatise cleverly conceived, industriously and ably
worked out, and on the whole, well written.

=The Natural History of some Common Animals.= By OSWALD H. LATTER, M.A., Senior Science Master at Charterhouse. Crown 8vo. 5_s._ _net_.

=The Classification of Flowering Plants.= By ALFRED BARTON RENDLE, M.A. (Cantab.), D.Sc. (Lond.), F.L.S., Assistant in the Department of Botany, British Museum. Vol. I. Gymnosperms and Monocotyledons. Demy 8vo. With numerous illustrations. 10_s._ 6_d._ _net_.

=The Vertebrate Skeleton.= By SIDNEY H. REYNOLDS, M.A. Crown 8vo. With 110 Illustrations. 12_s._ 6_d._

=Manual of Practical Morbid Anatomy=, being a Handbook for the Post-mortem Room. By H.D. ROLLESTON, M.A., M.D., F.R.C.P., and A.A. KANTHACK, M.D., M.R.C.P. Crown 8vo. 6_s._

=Fossil Plants: for students of Botany and Geology.= By A.C. SEWARD, M.A., F.R.S., Fellow of Emmanuel College. In 2 vols. Demy 8vo. Vol. I. 12_s._ [Vol. II. _In the Press._]

_Revue Scientifique._ Nous ne pouvons entrer dans le détail;
mais il est évident que M. Seward, praticien distingué
lui-même, est très au courant des travaux des autres, il les
cite et utilise abondamment; et ceci est fait pour inspirer
confiance. Au total, son oeuvre est appuyée sur des bases
solides, et elle restera sans doute longtemps le bréviaire, le
manuel de ceux qui veulent, non pas seulement s'initier à la
paléobotanique, mais retrouver les renseignements qui sont
épars dans des centaines de monographies qu'on a souvent peine
à se procurer. Le livre de M. Seward fait partie des _Cambridge
Natural Science Manuals_, et il est digne de cette collection,
qui est elle-même digne du foyer scientifique universellement
réputé, où il a vu le jour.

_Guardian._ We have already alluded to the spirit of caution
which characterises the book, and we may add that it promises
to be most helpful to the botanist who would extend his
researches into the past.

_Natural Science._ A most successful treatment of a difficult
subject. All of importance is brought forward and impartially
discussed.... Such a book has long been a desideratum. Mr
Seward's style is clear and concise, and the many pitfalls into
which beginners are apt to stumble are clearly pointed out.

=Zoology. An Elementary Text-Book=. By A.E. SHIPLEY, M.A., F.R.S., and E.W. MACBRIDE, M.A. (Cantab.), D.Sc. (London), Professor of Zoology in McGill University, Montreal. Demy 8vo. With numerous Illustrations. 10_s._ 6_d._ _Net_.

_Pilot._ A very business-like and convenient manual of modern
Zoology.

_School World._ As a thoroughly trustworthy and instructive
text-book for serious students, the work can be strongly
recommended. Its value is enhanced by the large number of
excellent illustrations, many of which are delightfully fresh.

_Oxford Magazine._ It is readable, well arranged, well printed,
copiously and admirably illustrated, and it covers the whole
field of zoology.

_Nature._ There pervades the pages of the work a freshness of
style and unconventionality which render them pleasant reading
and attractive; while, in the frequent allusion to the
commonest occurrences of daily life and human affairs, the
interest of the reader is assured.

_Pall Mall Gazette._ Precisely the sort of book which, if it
came into a thoughtful boy's hands, would turn him from a
smatterer into a student.... One of the most instructive and
attractive books that could be put into the hands of a young
naturalist.

=Grasses=: a Handbook for use in the Field and Laboratory. By H. MARSHALL WARD, Sc.D., F.R.S., Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge. With 81 figures. Crown 8vo. 6_s._

_Pilot._ Brimful of matter.

_Field._ The work is essentially suited to the requirements of
those desirous of studying the grasses commonly grown in this
country, and it can fairly be said that it furnishes an amount
of information seldom obtained in more pretentious volumes.

_Athenaeum._ Botanists and Agriculturists alike have reason to
thank Prof. Ward for this very serviceable addition to the
literature of grasses.

=Trees=: A Handbook of Forest Botany for the Woodlands and the Laboratory. By H. MARSHALL WARD, Sc.D., F.R.S., Fellow of Sidney Sussex College, Honorary Fellow of Christ's College and Professor of Botany in the University of Cambridge. In six volumes. 1. Buds and Twigs, 2. Leaves, 3. Inflorescences and Flowers, 4. Fruits and Seeds, 5. Seedlings, 6. General Characters. Vol. I. Buds and Twigs. Crown 8vo. Illustrated. 4_s._ 6_d._ _net_.

=A Treatise on the British Freshwater Algae.= By G.S. WEST, M.A., A.R.C.S., F.L.S., Professor of Natural History at the Royal Agricultural College, Cirencester. Demy 8vo. 10_s._ 6_d._ _net_.

=A Manual and Dictionary of the Flowering Plants and Ferns=. By J.C. WILLIS, M.A., Director of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Ceylon. _Second Edition._ Complete in one volume. Crown 8vo. 10_s._ 6_d._

=Outlines of Vertebrate Palaeontology for students of Zoology.= By ARTHUR SMITH WOODWARD, M.A., F.R.S., Keeper of the Department of Geology in the British Museum. Demy 8vo. With numerous Illustrations. 14_s._

_Athenaeum._ The author is to be congratulated on having produced
a work of exceptional value, dealing with a difficult subject in a
thoroughly sound manner.

_In preparation._
