The kind reception of Mr. Skinner's first volume has encouraged him to go beyond the territory of the United States for material for a fresh collection ; and this material he now embodies in a small-sized but rather closely printed book of " Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders". About two-thirds of the collection are drawn from Canada, and the remainder from Mexico. There is much curious and suggestive matter in the volume, and it should not be neglected by students of folk-lore.
