THIS book is the result of the Author's thirty years of careful 

 observation and study of the quadrupeds of North America, 

 and is the most comprehensive and authoritative as well as 

 interesting work on these animals. It is a book of popular 

 natural history on a strictly scientific basis. In it are treated some 

 sixty quadrupeds that are found in Manitoba, thus taking in all the 

 large land mammals of the United States, except about a dozen, in- 

 cluding five of the big game; among them are bufifalo, antelope, elk, 

 beaver, fox, squirrel, bear, coyote, rabbit, mouse. 



" F'.vervthing in my power," says the author in his preface, "has 

 been done to make this a painstaking, loving attempt to penetrate the 

 intimate side of the animals' lives — the side that has so long been 

 overlooked, because until lately we have persistently regarded wild things 

 as mere living targets, quite forgetting that they have their homes, 

 rheir mates, and their sorrows, a home life that is their real life. The 

 illustrations which arc most remarkable, are from photographs, 

 drawings, and maps.
