Abstract
AS the third volume commences with hunting and concludes with racing, while it also comprises articles on lawn tennis and polo, it will be obvious that a large portion of its contents does not come within the purview of a journal like NATURE. Nevertheless, there are numerous articles connected with natural history which call for brief mention. As a whole, these articles have been brought well up to date, although in some instances there is a certain amount of repetition, and occasionally discrepancies, when two writers treat of the same subject from different points of view. The illustrations are numerous, and for the most part good (as will be evident from the one here reproduced), but the accompanying legends are in some instances not so full as is desirable. On page 85, for instance, a doe and kid are simply lettered Himalayan Ibex, while there is no indication to show whether the “Caucasian Ibex,” figured on the next page, is an example of the western or eastern tur. Misprints seem to be few, although the specific name of the mule-deer is given as nemionus in place of hemionus, while its alternative generic name, Cariacus, is printed with a small initial letter.
