 
I have handed over my small collection of insects to Professor Poulton, F.R.S., of Oxford, who has had them set, and has kindly supplied me with materials for the following list, which may possibly be of some interest to any reader interested in Entomology. Butterflies. Three specimens of Limnas Chrysippus, a Danaine butterfly, found over all the warmer parts of the Old World. Of these three butterflies, one is the brown type form (Wad Hamed); one the Alcippus or Alcippoides variety, with white hind wings (Wad Hamed); one an Alcippoides, with much less white (near Kerreri). Three specimens of Belenois mesentina. Two males (Zeidab and Wad Hamed) are typical. The female (near Pyramids of Meroe) is darker than usual. The specimen in the Hope Collection nearest to it comes from Somaliland. One Teracolus. Very like T. auxo. The specimen is a male, small and white, with orange tip to the fore wing (near Pyramids of Meroe). Three very small species of LycÆnidÆ. Two males and two females (two, Kerreri; two, Rojan Island). Moths. NoctuÆ.—One Grammodes stolida (Battlefield of Omdurman), exactly like the Hope Specimens from India. One dubious specimen, probably a species of Pandesema (on gunboat near Shabluka). BombycidÆ.—One small female moth (Luxor), somewhat resembling Trichiura cratÆgi. Tineina.—Three small pale specimens (two, on gunboats near Metemmeh; one, Wad Hamed). Neuroptera. Trichoptera.—A few species, very pale in colour (Luxor and Abu Ahmed). Coleoptera. One Cicindela. A very small and pale species, not represented in the Hope Collection (Wad Hamed). One Buprestid, namely, Sternocera irregularis. A large brown species, with irregular tufts of straw-coloured hair on elytra and thorax (Um Teref). One Longicorn. A large black shining Prionus, not represented in Hope Collection. Heteromera. Two species, as yet uncompared with Hope Collection. Two Lamellicorns, apparently melolontha, or very similar. Hemiptera. One immature form of a large species, pale in colour. Homoptera. FulgoridÆ. One small pale species. Orthoptera. GryllidÆ. Two pale species. AcridiidÆ. Two pale species. Hymenoptera. One winged ant—dark, with sand-coloured patches. Arachnida—Araneina. Six species of spiders. One of these is a beautiful mimic of an ant. The above list is necessarily imperfect. It had to be compiled immediately for the publication of this volume, and there has been no time to properly "work out" many of the species. It is interesting to note the pale tint of so many of these Sudanese insects—a manifest adaptation to environment, for purposes of concealment amid the yellow sand of the desert.

In the second part Mr. Skrine gives a complete account of Russian Central Asia, with all the latest statistics. Great attention has been paid to the production of accurate maps, and the information contained in this part of the book may be regarded as semi-official. THROUGH ASIA. By Sven Hedin.

With many Illustrations and Maps. Large crown 8vo. 10s. 6d. This book contains a history and complete description of these islands—their physical features, fauna, flora; the habits, and religious beliefs of the inhabitants. It is the result of many years' residence among the natives, and is the only worthy work on the subject. History and Biography THE LIFE AND LETTERS OF SIR JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS, President of the Royal Academy. By his Son, J. G. Millais. With nearly 300 Illustrations, of which 10 are in photogravure. Two volumes. Royal 8vo. 32s. net. A limited edition will also be printed. This will contain 22 of Millais' great paintings reproduced in photogravure, with a case containing an extra set of these Photogravures pulled on India paper. The price of this edition will be £4, 4s. net. In these two magnificent volumes is contained the authoritative biography of the most distinguished and popular painter of the last half of the century. They contain the story of his extraordinary boyhood, of his early struggles and triumphs, of the founding of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, now first given to the world in authentic detail, of the painting of most of his famous pictures, of his friendships with many of the most distinguished men of the day in art, letters, and politics, of his home life, and of his sporting tastes. There are a large number of letters to his wife describing the circumstances under which his pictures were painted, letters from Her Majesty the Queen, Lord Beaconsfield, Mr. Gladstone, Mr. Watts, Sir William Harcourt, Lord Rosebery, Lord Leighton, etc., etc. Among them are several illustrated letters from Landseer, Leech, Du Maurier, and Mike Halliday. The last letter that Lord Beaconsfield wrote before his death is reproduced in fac-simile. Sir William Harcourt contributes his reminiscences of Millais, and Mr. Val Prinsep has written a long and most interesting chapter to the same purpose. Not the least attractive and remarkable feature of this book will be the magnificence of its illustrations. No more complete representation of the art of any painter has ever been produced on the same scale. The owners of Sir John Millais' most famous pictures and their copyrights have generously given their consent to their reproduction in his biography, and, in addition to those pictures with which the public is familiar, over two hundred pictures and sketches which have never been reproduced before, and which, in all probability, will never be seen again by the general public, will appear in these pages. The early chapters contain sketches made by Millais at the age of seven. There follow some exquisite drawings made by him during his Pre-Raphaelite period, a large number of sketches and studies made for his great pictures, water colour sketches, pen-and-ink sketches, and drawings, humorous and serious. There are ten portraits of Millais himself, including two by Mr. Watts and Sir Edward Burne Jones. There is a portrait of Dickens, taken after death, and a sketch of D. G. Rossetti. Thus the book will be not only a biography of high interest and an important contribution to the history of English art, but in the best sense of the word, a beautiful picture book.

Methuen propose to issue a series of Commentaries upon such Books of the Bible as still seem to need further explanation. The object of each Commentary is primarily exegetical, to interpret the author's meaning to the present generation. The editors will not deal, except very subordinately, with questions of textual criticism or philology; but taking the English text in the Revised Version as their basis, they will try to combine a hearty acceptance of critical principles THE BOOK OF JOB. Edited, with Introduction and Notes, by E. C. S. Gibson, D.D., Vicar of Leeds. Demy 8vo. 6s. The Churchman's Bible. General Editor, J. H. Burn, B.D., Examining Chaplain to the Bishop of Aberdeen. Messrs. Methuen propose to issue a series of expositions upon most of the books of the Bible. The volumes will be practical and devotional rather than critical in their purpose, and the text of the authorised version will be explained in sections or paragraphs, which will correspond as far as possible with the divisions of the Church Lectionary. The volumes will be produced in a very handy and tasteful form, and may be obtained in cloth or leather bindings. The first volume will be: THE EPISTLE OF ST. PAUL TO THE GALATIANS. Explained by A.

General Literature The Arden Shakespeare. General Editor, Edward Dowden, Litt. D. Messrs. Methuen have in preparation an Edition of Shakespeare in single Plays. Each play will be edited with a full Introduction, Notes on the text, and a Commentary at the foot of the page. The first volume will be: HAMLET. Edited by Edward Dowden. Demy 8vo. 2s. 6d. The Novels of Charles Dickens. Crown 8vo. Each Volume, cloth 3s., leather 4s. net. Messrs. Methuen have in preparation an edition of those novels of Charles Dickens which have now passed out of copyright. Mr. George Gissing, whose critical study of Dickens is both sympathetic and acute, has written an Introduction to each of the books, and a very attractive feature of this edition will be the illustrations of the old houses, inns, and buildings, which Dickens described, and which have now in many instances disappeared under the touch of modern civilisation. Another valuable feature will be a series of topographical notes to each book by Mr. F. G. Kitton. The books will be produced with the greatest care as to printing, paper and binding. The first volumes will be: THE PICKWICK PAPERS. With Illustrations by E. H. New. Two Volumes. NICHOLAS NICKLEBY. With Illustrations by R. J. Williams. Two Volumes. BLEAK HOUSE.

Methuen intend to produce a series of small books under the above title, containing some of the famous books in English and other literatures, in the domains of fiction, poetry, and belles lettres. The series will also contain several volumes of selections in prose and verse. The books will be edited with the most sympathetic and scholarly care. Each one will contain an Introduction which will give (1) a short biography of the author, (2) a critical estimate of the book, (3) short bibliographical details. Where they are necessary, short notes will be added at the foot of the page. The Little Library will ultimately contain complete sets of the novels of W. M. Thackeray, Jane Austen, the sisters BrontÉ, Mrs. Gaskell and Each book will have a portrait or frontispiece in photogravure, and the volumes will be produced with great care in a style uniform with that of 'The Library of Devotion.'

Uniform with Mr. Wells' 'Oxford' and Mr. Thomson's 'Cambridge.' Fiction A NEW DEPARTURE IN PUBLISHING. Messrs. Methuen contemplate a very interesting experiment in publishing. They are about to issue at Sixpence, under the general title of 'Methuen's Library of Fiction,' stories by some of the best known writers of the day. A few books will be reprints, but most will be new works hitherto unpublished in book form. A considerable number of Sixpenny Editions of old books have already been issued by various publishers, but in no case has the work of an author of high repute been published in the first instance at that price. This Messrs. Methuen will attempt, and the first book thus published will be by E. W. Hornung. Mr. Robert Barr and Mr. Cutliffe Hyne will follow, and later will be published books by Mr. Baring Gould and others. In some cases the same book will be published simultaneously both at Sixpence and at a higher price. Messrs. Methuen recognise the inevitable tendencies of an age of cheap literature.

'The tender reverence of the treatment and the imaginative beauty of the writing have reconciled us to the daring of the conception, and the conviction is forced on us that even so exalted a subject cannot be made too familiar to us, provided it be presented in the true spirit of Christian faith. The amplifications of the Scripture narrative are often conceived with high poetic insight, and this "Dream of the World's Tragedy" is a lofty and not inadequate paraphrase of the supreme climax of the inspired narrative.'—Dublin Review. THE SORROWS OF SATAN. Thirty-ninth Edition. 'A very powerful piece of work.... The conception is magnificent, and is likely to win an abiding place within the memory of man.... The author has immense command of language, and a limitless audacity.... This interesting and remarkable romance will live long after much of the ephemeral literature of the day is forgotten.... A literary phenomenon ... novel, and even sublime.'—W. T. Stead in the Review of Reviews. Anthony Hope's Novels Crown 8vo. 6s. each. THE GOD IN THE CAR. Eighth Edition.

'Nothing more vigorous or more human has come from Mr. Gilbert Parker than this novel. It has all the graphic power of his last book, with truer feeling for the romance, both of human life and wild nature. There is no character without its unique and picturesque interest. Mr. Parker's style, especially his descriptive style, has in this book, perhaps even more than elsewhere, aptness and vitality.'—Literature. S. Baring Gould's Novels Crown 8vo. 6s. each. 'To say that a book is by the author of "Mehalah" is to imply that it contains a story cast on strong lines, containing dramatic possibilities, vivid and sympathetic descriptions of Nature, and a wealth of ingenious imagery.'—Speaker. 'That whatever Mr. Baring Gould writes is well worth reading, is a conclusion that may be very generally accepted. His views of life are fresh and vigorous, his language pointed and characteristic, the incidents of which he makes use are striking and original, his characters are life-like, and though somewhat exceptional people, are drawn and coloured with artistic force. Add to this that his descriptions of scenes and scenery are painted with the loving eyes and skilled hands of a master of his art, that he is always fresh and never dull, and it is no wonder that readers have gained confidence in his power of amusing and satisfying them, and that year by year his popularity widens.'—Court Circular.

TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE Obvious typographical errors and punctuation errors have been corrected after careful comparison with other occurrences within the text and consultation of external sources.

For example "Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d." is used instead of "Crown 8vo. 4s. 6d." To avoid duplication, the page numbering in the Book Catalog has a suffix C added, so that for example page [23] displays as [23C]. Except for those changes noted below, all misspellings in the text, and inconsistent or archaic usage, have been retained. For example, conterminous; employÉ; semicircle, semi-circle; field-guns, field guns. Pg 21, 'bran new suits' replaced by 'brand new suits'. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
