THE VERTEBRATE FAUNA OF SCOTLAND. 



Edited by J. A. HARVIE-BROWN and T. E. BUCKLEY. 



1 ' We receive few books that are so grateful alike to the eye and sense as the sage-green octavos of Scot- 

 tish zoological geography which come to us, one after another, from Mr. Douglas. In welcoming this 

 delightful Vertebrate Fauna of the Orkney Islands, we feel but one regret, the worlds which are left for 

 Messrs. Buckley and Harvie-Brown to conquer are growing very few. . . . We know not how to approach 

 them. Are we to urge them on upon their splendid enterprise, or to hold them back, that our pleasure 

 may be drawn out the longer? The same plan is pursued as in the previous volumes of this admirable 

 series. A detailed physical geography of the islands precedes the catalogue raisonne of the species and 

 habitats. Even to those, therefore, who have little zoological curiosity or knowledge, this book must 

 be of unusual importance, if the reader lias an interest in the provinces described. " Saturday Review.
