Reynal and Hitchcock have just published Famous Women of France by Professor Charles R. Bagley. The text of this book, of 179 pages plus vocabulary, prepared for class room use is in French and so the book falls outside the scope of a full length review in this magazine. The author in his introduction states that "this book has been planned to serve as an intermediate cultural reader and also as a manual for composition and conversation." The women treated in the volume are Jeanne d'Arc, Marguerite d'Angouleme, Madame de Sevigne, Madame de Maintenon, Madame de Stael, George Sand and Madame Curie—all women who have made lasting contributions to French civilization. Professor Bagley graduated from Duke University in 1914 and has been associated with the French department at Dartmouth since 1930.

McNair is the author of Diatomaceous Earth, printed by the NewHampshire State Planning and DevelopmentCommission, 1941, as Part II of the NewHampshire Mineral Resource Survey; and of A Method of Photographing Impressions ofFossils, reprinted from the January issue of the Journal of Paleontology.
