Two Books of Nature.

"A World of Green Hills" by Bradford
Torrey. is a series of short essays some
what in the style of John Burroughs, de-
scribing the authors walks abroad in the
interests of ornithology. These walks
were taken in North Carolina and Vir-
ginia, and as the author is a New En-
gland man. he looks at the wild life Of
this region with fresh and vivid inter-
est. There is much in these pages which
will prove interesting to lovers of birds
and wild flowers. especially in this part
of the country. 1t would be an interest
ing experiment for any student of nature
to go over a part or all of the ground
traversed by Mr.. Torrey, write his expe-
riences, and compare them with this lit
tie book. 1t is not all about flowers and
birds. for here and there the characters
tics of the people dwelling in lonely coun-
try places are touched upon, always with
a gentle and kindly hand. There is rath-
er too much of the first personal pronoun
in the book for perfect literary sty.e, but
after all. the charm of the essays is that
they are very much like a personal let
ter from a friend. and one does not write
such letters with a premeditated purp Sc
of leaving out the .Is" Another defect
in the book. from a scientific point of
view. is that the author does not seem
to have explored his own State, Massa-
chusetts, very thoroughly before coming
South.
In several instances he mentions some
flower or fern as being entirely new to
him. though 1t exists in the herbariums
of many New England botanists and IN
the recesses of New England woods. For
instance, he speaks of finding cancer root
! (Conopholis) in the neighborhood of Nat
ural Bridge, Virginia, and says that he
had never seen 1t before. Now, this
plant, sometimes called squaw-root, is to
be found in the mountains of Western
Massachusetts. In the same paper he
speaks of having searched all over New
England for the purple-stemmed cliff
brake, (Pellaea atropurpurea) which may
also be gathered, with the Walking Fern,
about 80 miles from Springfield. However,
