"It is sufficient to announce a work on the comparative anatomy of the Invertebrata by Mr. Owen. Were it necessary to recommend it, we should say, that the desideratum it supplies has been long felt by students of natural history; and that no writer of the present day except Mr. Owen could have ventured to approach the subject: his enlightened researches having made the delightful department of science in which he has created his brilliant reputation legitimately his own; and, indeed, organised into a system an interesting branch of knowledge in which he found only a few scattered and imperfectly known facts."-MEDICAL GAZETTE.

He has studied his theme in its various branches vigilantly and patiently, and has bestowed reflection and exemplary care before delivering the results of his observation and research.

Sindhian nation."-MONTHLY REVIEW.

By G. F. RICHARDSON, F.G.S. of the British Museum. Second Edition, considerably enlarged, with new Frontispiece, and nearly 100 new Wood Engravings, fcp. 8vo. 10s. 6d. cloth.

"The student of Geology is here supplied with the means of acquiring the rudiments of this interesting science. Mr. Richardson has succeeded in simplifying his descriptions, and investing his explanations with interest, to an extent unequalled in any work of the kind with which we have had the good fortune to meet. He thus fixes the attention, and gradually acquires the confidence of the student, who becomes sensible that he is making progress in the study by the increasing pleasure which he feels at every successive step. The scientific reputation acquired by the author-the facilities afforded by his official position, as Curator of the Geological department of the British Museum-and the rapidity with which the first edition of the work has been sold, render any further recommendation of the book unnecessary. It will, we doubt not, become the work with which the student of geology will commence. When its contents are understood, they will materially aid his progress in proceeding to master the arcana of the science, which, when acquired, will amply reward whatever pains he has taken in the acquisition of its mysteries." GLOBE, Sept. 8, 1843.
