hippopotamus, and the giraffe. The book is abundantly illustrated 

 with reproductions from photographs, many of which, like the one 

 here shown, are excellent examples of animal photography. —

Mr. Renshaw, whose lectures and magazine articles are well 

 known, has published an interesting book that fills a gap, and that 

 will be of use both to the student and to the reader avIio takes a 

 general interest in zoological matters. Mr. Renshaw gives us care- 

 ful descriptions of typical examples of the manmialian fauna of 

 Africa, both from the zoological and the historical point of view. 

 His work is the result of several years' investigation, and we feel 

 that every word has been well weighed, and that the information is 

 reliable. — ' Leeds Mercury.' 



Dr. Renshaw, in a modest preface, frankly acknowledges that 

 the kind reception accorded to certain lectures and magazine 

 articles has encouraged him in the preparation of this little work. 

 In it, he says, an attempt has been made to describe typical examples 

 of the mammalian fauna of Africa as seen both from the zoological 

 and the historical standpoint. We are further told that the infor- 

 mation upon which this book is based is the outcome of several 

 years' investigation, research and correspondence. There is cer- 

 tainly much in the book which amply corroborates that statement. 

 Natural history has been rather heavily run upon of late, and — alas 

 — too often writers with but a superficial acquaintance with the 

 subject have rushed into print with their observations and impres- 

 sions. That kind of thing is easily done, though it is scarcely 

 worth doing. But when a man with scientific knowledge devotes 

 himself to the study of the subject, and after due reflection commits 

 his thoughts to paper, the result, as in the case of the book before 

 us, is alike interesting and instructive. — ' Birmingham Post.' 



We have read tlie book with interest. — ' Spectator.' 



The essays, which are sixteen in number, are brightly written in 

 a popular style. Each one has a good photograph as illustration. 

 Several years' research and correspondence have gone to the making 

 of the book, and the lover of wild things will find much to interest 

 him in it. — ' Manchester City News.'
