Abstract
THE work before us, which treats of the Cambrian brachiopods of the whole world, must arouse the admiration of all who understand the difficulties of a comprehensive palæontological study of such magnitude. It is a splendid monument to the ability and perseverance of its eminent author, whose previous reputation as an investigator of the Cambrian faunas was so widely established as not to need the further proof afforded 'by these two handsome volumes. It is a matter both for surprise and congratulation that Dr. Waleott has found opportunity, amidst his rnany activities, to bring to completion a task so overwhelming: small wonder that it has occupied his available time for ten years or more.
