Abstract
FEW men have better opportunities for furnishing valuable contributions to the Natural History of foreign parts than surgeons attached to the Army and Navy; an education in at least the rudiments of natural science, combined with abundant leisure, presenting means which are not at the disposal of all travellers. As a rule, we fear that this class of men have done but little for Science compared with what might have been expected of them. There are, however, some honourable exceptions, among them our present author, whose “Wanderings of a Naturalist in India” has been already given to the public, and who now publishes the results of the labours of his leisure hours and vacation rambles in the investigation of the archæology and natural history of the Lower Nile and Malta.
Notes of a Naturalist in the Nile Valley and Malta.
By Andrew Leith Adams. (Edinburgh: Edmonston and Douglas, 1871.)
