TIMES.—"There are very many, not only among educated people who take an interest in science, but even among specialists, who will welcome a work of reasonable compass and handy form containing a trustworthy treatment of the various departments of Natural History by men who are familiar with, and competent to deal with, the latest results of scientific research.... Altogether, to judge from this first volume, The Cambridge Natural History promises to fulfil all the expectations that its prospectus holds out."

DAILY CHRONICLE.—"It can be read with profit by the zoologist, and there is a vast amount of matter which is interesting to those who like the tit-bits of science; but do not care so much for the more serious aspects of the subject."

NATURE NOTES.—"The work as a whole is thoroughly well got up, and we cordially recommend it to our readers."

FIELD.—"The work is really an admirable introduction to the study of molluscs, treating of their position in the animal kingdom, the habits and general economy of land and fresh-water species, their structure, general distribution over the earth's surface (which is illustrated by some very valuable maps), their growth and development, their uses to man, the cultivation for food of such species as the oyster, the mussel, and the snail, and the utilisation of their shells for money and ornament.... We know of no book available to the general reader which affords such a vast fund of information on the structure and habits of molluscs."
