By ABEL CHAPMAN, F.Z.S., Author of "Wild Norway," "Bird Life on the Borders," 'Wild Spain," etc. With about 200 Illustrations by the Author and E. CALDWELL. 8vo. [Shortly The author of this book is a well-known ornithologist, as well as a mighty hunter and traveler. He takes us "on safari" (i. e. on trek) through a new African region-a creation of yesterday Imperially speaking, since British East Africa only sprang into existence during the current decade on the opening of the Uganda Railway. "The New Colony," he says, "six times greater in area than the Mother Land, is an Imperial asset of as yet unmeasured possibilities, consisting, to-day, largely of virgin hunting grounds, unsurpassed on earth for the variety of their wild fauna, yet all but unknown save to a handful of pioneers and big-game hunters." ANGLING AND ART IN SCOTLAND. lustrated. By ERNEST E. BRIGGS, R. I. Some Fishing Experiences Related and Il With 32 Colored Plates and other Illustrations. [In the Press "Although this book is entitled 'Angling and Art in Scotland' it must not be thought that it is in any way a treatise upon painting. A parallel is drawn between the art of the Angler and that of the landscape painter which is, to my mind, very real and ever-present; but there as far as the writing of the book goes, the matter ends; for I have devoted my space to the narration of certain angling experiences and descriptions of scenery which, I hope, may be of interest not only to the angler but to the general reader, and have left my pictures to speak for themselves as illustrative of the kindred art of landscape painting."-Preface.

An Introduction to the History of Pictorial Art in Asia, especially China and Japan. By LAWRENCE BINYON. With 40 Full-page Illustrations in Collotype from Original Chinese and Japanese Pictures. Crown 4to. $6.00, net. [Nearly Ready "For a basis of study of Eastern art,'' writes Mr. Binyon, "the public at present has nothing but a few general misconceptions." He therefore puts forward his volume with the modest hope that it "may not be thought too presumptuous an attempt to survey the achievement and to interpret the aims of Oriental painting and to appreciate it from the standpoint of a European in relation to the rest of the world's art. It is the general student and lover of painting," he continues, "whom I have wished to interest." Besides its stimulating artistic criticism, the book is full of interesting glimpses of Eastern history and thought, in so far as they have affected art, as well as biographical sketches of Eastern painters.

With [In the Press (Edinburgh, and [In the Press This book is the outcome of twenty years' work. In it is put forth a theory of the Origin of Verte brates, which is based upon two fundamental propositions, (1) that the essential factor for the upward evolution of all animals is growth of brain power. (a) that each higher group of animals has arisen from some member of the highest group evolved up to that time and not from a lower group. All the evidence, whether anatomical, physiological, or paleontological, points to the conclusion that the vertebrates arose from the highest invertebrate group-the anthropods-which were the dominant race at the time when vertebrates first appeared.
