    XIX. PUBLIC HEALTH. By Dr. J. F. J. Sykes. With numerous Illustrations. 3s. 6d. Not by any means a mere compilation or a dry record of details and statistics, but it takes up essential points in evolution, environment, prophylaxis, and sanitation bearing upon the preservation of public health.—Lancet. XX. MODERN METEOROLOGY. An Account of the Growth and Present Condition of some Branches of Meteorological Science. By Frank Waldo, Ph.D., Member of the German and Austrian Meteorological Societies, etc. ; late Junior Professor, Signal Service, U.S.A. With 112 Illustrations. 3s. 6d. The present volume is the best on the subject for general use that we have seen. —Daily Telegraph (London). XXL THE GERM-PLASM : A THEORY OF HEREDITY. By August Weismann, Professor in the University of Freiburg-in- Breisgau. With 24 Illustrations. 6s. There has been no work published since Darwin's own books which has so thoroughly handled the matter treated by him, or has done so much to place in order and clearness the immense complexity of the factors of heredity, or, lastly, has brought to light so many new facts and considerations bearing on the subject.— British Medical Journal. XXII. INDUSTRIES OF ANIMALS. By F. Houssay. With numerous Illustrations. 3s. 6d. His accuracy is undoubted, yet his facts out-marvel all romance. These facts are here made use of as materials wherewith to form the mighty fabric of evolution. —Mancheater Guardian. XXIIL MAN AND WOMAN. By Havelock Ellis. Illus¬ trated. Second Edition. 6s. Mr. Havelock Ellis belongs, in some measure, to the continental school of anthro¬ pologists ; but Avhile equally methodical in the collection of facts, he is far more cautious in the invention of theories, and he has the further distinction of being not only able to think, but able to лvrite. His book is a sane and impartirti considera¬ tion, from a psychological and anthropological point of vie>v, of a subject which is certainly of primary interest.— Athenœum. XXIV. THE EVOLUTION OF MODERN CAPITALISM. By John A. Hobson, M.A. 3s. 6d. Every page affords evidence of wide and minute study, a weighing of facts as conscientious as it is acute, a keen sense of the importance of certain points as to which economists of all schools have hitherto been confused and careless, and an impartiality generally so great as to give no indication of his [Mr. Hobson's] per¬ sonal sympathies.—/aZi Mall Gazette. XXV. APPARITIONS AND THOUGHT-TRANSFERENCE. By Frank Podmore, M.A. 3s. 6d. A very sober and interesting little book. . . . That thought-transference is a real thing, though not perhaps a very common thing, he certainly shows.—¿;^>ecíaíor. XXVL AN INTRODUCTION TO COMPARATH^E PSYCHOLOGY. By Professor C. Lloyd Morgan. With Dia¬ grams. 6s. A strong and complete exposition of Psychology, as it takes shape in a mind previously informed with biological science. . . . AVell written, extremely entertain¬ ing, and intrinsically valuable.—Saturday Review.
