Hilgard's book on soils. The reviewer says that "in the production of this volume Dr. Hilgard has enriched agricultural science throughout the domain of its most basal problems and to a very notable extent. Its appearance at this time is extremely opportune, coming as it does with the initiation of more rigid research work by the agricultural experiment stations, before the bureau of soils has been able to fully discern what should be its own precise problems, and when the materials for agricultural education have yet to be definitely brought together in proper pedagogic form. The reviewer in Science says that "this volume should be introduced to a much wider circle of students than those of the agricultural colleges generally. It will be found well suited to serve as the foundation of important seminars in chemistry, in geology, and especially in plant physicolgy and ecology." This volume may be considered the crowning work of Prof. Hilgard's long life of devoted service to agricultural studies, thirty years of which have been spent at the university. A very interesting and scholarly article on the "Exceptional Nature and Genesis of the Mississippi Delta" written by Professor Hilgard, appears in the December number of Science.

A very interesting and scholarly article on the "Exceptional Nature and Genesis of the Mississippi Delta" written by Professor Hilgard, appears in the December number of Science. Among other things, Dr. Hilgard emphasizes the commercial importance of the formation of mudlumps in the Mississippi. These formations have frequently caused a change in the navigable outlets or passes. One outlet after another has been tried in historic times and finally on the suggestion of Dads, the river was turned into the southern pass which was then free from mudlumps, in the hope that the increased velocity of the current enclosed by Eads' jetties would keep it scoured out to a much greater extent than the other shallower passes. This hope has been justified to a considerable degree although there has been more or less mudlump upheaval. President Wheeler says in his last report that during his long connection with the university Professor Hilgard "has not only maintained the highest standards of scientific work, but has used his influence for the things that are highest and best in the community in the faculty and among the students represented." SNAKES OF SARAWAK. The Pythons Are Enormous and Feed on Pigs and Children. In the Sarawak Gazette is an article on the snakes of that part of Borneo. Of the poisonous reptiles it says: "The cobra (Naja tripudians) is a black snake which raises its head to strike when irritated, at the same time expanding the hood at either side of the neck. It spits at intruders and hisses like a cat, whence it is known as "ular tedong puss;" in some parts, too, as "tedong mata hari." The word "tedong" in Sarawak is apparently applied to all large snakes which Malays consider to be poisonous, and, as our Malays are but ill acquainted with these animals, quite a number of large but harmless forms are designated by this term. The hamadryad (Naja bun- when irritated, at the same time expanding the hood at either side of the neck. It spits at intruders and hisses like a cat, whence it is known as "ular tedong puss;" in some parts, too, as "tedong mata harl." The word "tedong" in Sarawak is apparently applied to all large snakes which Malays consider to be poisonous, and, as our Malays are but ill acquainted with these animals, quite a number of large but harmless forms are designated by this term. The hamadryad (Naja bungarus) is a brown snake, considerably bigger but rarer than the cobra. It is rather shy, but when cornered, like the cobra, it raises its head and expands the hood before striking. Its food is chiefly other snakes. "Less dangerous than these najas are the vipers, of which the most common species is the green viper, which reaches a length of two feet or more. The head is large and shaped like an ace of spades. This creature is a tree snake and very sluggish. The 'bungarus' are of several species, one Bungarus fasciatus, of length up to four feet, being black with yellow rings. It is called the 'ular buku tebu' (sugar cane joints) by natives. There are also sea snakes of many species. The tail of a sea snake is flattened and oarlike." Sarawak has other snakes: "Of the pythons there are two species. Python reticulatus grows to an enormous size, over twenty feet. It is very fond of pigs, but varies its diet by various animals, including even children. The oil of this snake is used by Malays as an embrocation for bruises. The other species of python, Python curtus, is interesting in that its flesh tastes like that of fowl—at least, so Dyaks say, and they are authorities on snake flesh, for they eat a number of the large snakes."
