Abstract
THE Natural History Society of Northumberland, Durham, and Newcastle-upon-Tyne attained its centenary on Aug. 19, 1929, and in order to commemorate the event the Council decided to publish a history of the Society and the Museum in which its collections are housed. The work has been carried out with meticulous care by the curator, Mr. T. Russell Goddard, who is to be congratulated on the production of a volume which will prove to be of great interest not only to local naturalists, but also to the wider circle of those who find in natural history—in the words of Lord Grey—a sure recreation and a refreshing pleasure.

By T. Russell Goddard. Pp. xvi + 195 + 12 plates. (Newcastle-upon-Tyne: Andrew Reid and Co., Ltd., 1929.) 7s. 6d. net.
