It seems to be the rule that after a discussion has run along to a certain de- gree it is wise to "drop it for the present;" then, after a while, if there were some points that were not fully understood, bring up the matter again; so I am will- ing to drop the subject where it is, think- ing that it has been fully and fairly dis- cussed. The case of Snyder vs the peo- ple went to the jury, and the verdict ren- dered is almost unanimously in my favor; only one(Doolittle) standing out; and he I think through stubborness. I believe this has been a very healthy discussion; causing the bee-lqeepers to open their eyes and bringing them to their senses more than any subject published in a long while. Kingston, N. Y.

TN previous is- ^ sues of the Review I have t^iven a lunnber or illustrations s h o w in g the great changes in plant and animal life brought a- bout by the agen- cy of man. It may be briefly noted that such changes have been made as are most useful to man, or have most his fancy. Thus we see that the of different varieties of cabbages or pota- toes remain quite unchanged, as man has taken no special interest in them; while in plants cultivated for the beauty of their flowers we find the greatest changes made in these parts. There is really very little that is new in knowledge regarding the laws of heredity; as in an ancient Chinese encyclopedia the principles of selection are fully given. Explicit rules are laid down by some of the Roman classical writer
