This portion of the catalogue is rendered much more useful than it would otherwise be, by the classification which has been adopted. By this means it is easy to find most any shape desired. The choice of the patterns themselves deserves the highest commendation. [Illustration: LXXVII. Manoir d'Ango, Normandy.] [Illustration: SKETCH BY WILSON EYRE, JR. See The Architectural Review, Vol. IV, No. 1.] The forthcoming number of _The Architectural Review_ (Vol. IV, No. 1) will include several noteworthy features. The plates are of the same class of subjects which has given the paper its present high standing. The four gelatine plates are devoted to illustrating Messrs.

In one of them, for instance, Ictinus confide
