REPORT ON FISHERIES OF MARYLAND.-We have received the Report for 1880 of Messrs. Ferguson & Hughlett on the Fisheries of Maryland, which, together with the Oyster Laws, make about 58 pages; by far the most valuable portion of the Report is the Appendix containing Brook's Development of the American Oyster, but this monograph appeared before in Johns Hopkins Biological Laboratory Reports.

PRIVATELY ILLUSTRATED BOOKS.-Many book collectors amuse themselves by illustrating the books in their libraries, thus rendering them unique specimens. Mr. Daniel M. Treadwell, of Brooklyn, New York, has published a "Monograph" of those contained in the most sumptuous libraries in and about New York, with many curious and interesting facts concerning them. It contains 165 pages, printed with entirely new type on fine paper, and bound in a vellum cover, and a limited number are printed on large paper. Messrs. Trübner & Co., of Ludgate Hill, are London agents for this little work.

RIO DE LA PLATA.-Senator M. Biedma, of Buenos Aires, has issued a prospectus of the Viceroyalty of the Rio de la Plata 1776 to 1810, "Apuntamientos critico-historicos para servir en la cuestion des limites entra la Republica Argentina

y Chile," by Senator Vicenta G. Quesada. It is to form a volume of 500 pages in octavo, and will be issued as a supplement to the "Nueva Revista."

VICTORIA MINES.-In the 1880-1 Report of Mr. Thomas Couchman, the Chief Inspector of Mines, to the Hon. Commissioner of Mines for Victoria, Australia, we find, as usual, much interesting matter relative to machinery for the prevention of accidents in mines. The Chief Inspector reports that there has been a general and careful compliance with the "Regulation of Mines Statute" in all the principal mines, which has operated beneficially in decreasing the number of accidents.
