Nature (London) says: ”The study of the b.u.t.terflies of Australia is certain to be greatly advanced by the appearance of this admirable work, containing 43 excellent quarto plates, of which 4 are coloured.

In addition to this abundant and most necessary ill.u.s.tration in plates, the reader is provided with numbers of text-figures as well as a valuable map-index of localities.... A concluding section, with 'Notes on Collecting and Collections,' complete the work by rendering it a sufficient guide to the beginner. The keen Australian naturalist is now provided with a foundation upon which to build.”

_AN INTRODUCTION TO THE GEOLOGY OF NEW SOUTH WALES._

By C.A. Sussmilch, F.G.S. Second edition, thoroughly revised and greatly enlarged, with folding coloured map and 100 other maps and ill.u.s.trations. Cloth gilt, 7s. 6d. (_postage 3d._)

Australian Mining Standard: ”Students are greatly indebted to Mr.

Sussmilch for the able manner in which he has presented in compact form all that is known at the present time on the subject.... The ill.u.s.trations throughout are excellent, but the coloured geological map which serves as a frontispiece is a model of what such a map should be, avoiding the opposite evils of overcrowding and meagreness.

Mr. Sussmilch's book should be of value, not only to students in the colleges, but to those practical miners who are also students.”

_THE PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF BOILER CONSTRUCTION._

By W.D. Cruickshank, M.I. Mech. E., late Chief Engineering Surveyor, New South Wales Government. Second edition, revised and enlarged, with 70 ill.u.s.trations. Cloth gilt, 15s. (_postage 3d._)

_CHRISTOPHER c.o.c.kLE'S AUSTRALIAN EXPERIENCES._

By ”OLD BOOMERANG” (J.R. HOULDING). Revised edition, with 2 portraits.

Cloth gilt, 5s. (_postage 2d._)

Originally published under the t.i.tle ”Australian Capers,” this volume has been out of print for many years, and copies which have come into the market secondhand have been purchased at enhanced prices. The author has at last consented to its republication and has thoroughly revised it. As a picture of Australian life thirty or forty years ago the book is worthy of a permanent place in our literature, and it contains plenty of fun and humour for both old and young.

By J.M. TAYLOR, M.A., LL.B. With 85 ill.u.s.trations and maps. Cloth gilt, 3s. 6d. (_postage 2d._)
