Abstract
IN this neat and handy little volume we have a very interesting and intellectual collection of sketches and addresses more or less scientific. Some of the articles, which, as the author tells us, have been published before, have been freely retouched or re-written; but the papers on “The Dispersion of Fresh-water Fishes,” “The Evolution of the College Curriculum,” and the address on “Darwin” appear for the first time. The subjects treated are of various kinds, so that anyone who takes up the book will be sure to find in it something that will interest him. The appendix contains a list of the scientific papers of the author, and we hope it will not be long before we are favoured with another such book as the above.
Science Sketches.
By David Starr Jordan. (Chicago: A. C. McClurg and Co., 1888.)
