Abstract

WE have received an advance copy of M. E. Duseigneur-Kléber's monograph, “Le Cocon de Soie,” dated for 1875, the get-up of which is calculated at once to arrest attention and excite interest. The 248 quarto pages of clearly printed letterpress containing his information, admirably arranged in methodic form, are accompanied by thirty-seven plates executed in photo-typography, and a map of the world indicating the localities where silkworms are cultivated. Twenty-eight of the plates are devoted to the illustration of the different types of cocoons from different countries, of which as many as 195 are figured from photographs.
