amples of the mammalian fauna of Africa. The author is himself 

 an expert zoologist, who has travelled far, and observed much re- 

 garding the habits of wild animals. His book, however, although 

 it will appeal strongly to the naturalist, is by no means addressed 

 merely to the scientific man. Its simple language and populnr 

 treatment make it welcome to the general reader, while all lovers of 

 animals will find it full of instruction. One of the pieces of infor- 

 mation which the author gives in an early part of the work is that 

 the compilers of the older natural histories were rather careless and 

 misleading in their statements respecting the ' savage ' and ' un- 

 tameable ' nature of many wild animals. — ' Chester Courant.' 



In this book (which is fully illustrated by photographs) ' an 

 attempt has been made to describe typical examples of the mam- 

 malian fauna of Africa as seen both from the zoological and the 

 historical standpoint.' — ' The Times.' 



Mr. Graham Renshaw, who is known as an informing lecturer 

 and writer on natural history, has, by the publication of a series of 

 essays on that subject, produced a volume which will doubtless prove 

 of great interest to many. . . . The style of the essays is popular, 

 so that even the general reader cannot fail to be interested in 

 matters which might be supposed to appeal only to experts. The 

 illustrations, although they are on a small scale, enhance the value 

 of the book. — ' Scotsman.' 



The book will be of great service to teachers who have no time 

 to work the subject out at first hand, and, at the same time, it will 

 be a capital handbook for any visitor to the Zoological Gardens 

 who wishes to take more than a superficial interest in the curious 

 creatures to be found there. The illustrations from photographs 

 of many animals not to be found in ordinary collections greatly 

 add to the value of the book, since they enable the reader better to 

 understand the relationships and types of those with which he is 

 more or less familiar. The book is an excellent example of the 

 modern method of popularising science. — ' Manchester Courier.' 



The short articles contained in this volume treat of various 

 animals which are found in Africa, a continent that has been opened 

 out so extensively within recent years, revealing many strange and 

 inteiesting forms of animal life. Dr. Renshaw has evidently 

 travelled in some of the remoter regions of Africa, where he has 

 been able to study the fauna, so that his remarks about the life
