Written by the author of a number of successful books, such as " Birds' Nesting," 

 "Knocking 'Round the Rockies," "The Crest of the Continent," etc., etc.; - a 

 writer who has the gift of so writing that the reader seems to be seeing with him the 

 places describe I, and, in the case of these new papers, feels as if he himself had been 

 watching the shy creatures of whose habits so fascinating an account is given. He 

 begins with the little gray squirrel; but writes not only of the panther, the myste- 

 rious, despised coyote, badgers and other burrowers, of elephants and other animals; 

 but also of " the service of tails " ; of animal training and intelligence, and of perhaps 

 hnlf-a-dozen more topics, closing with " A Little Brother of tlie Bear," which any boy 

 will be rejoiced to read, with only one regret — that it is the last.

A series of pages in which an enthusiastic student of Entomological science de- 

 .scribes, often in the words of, always with the intent interest air of, the orignial 

 observer, — changes such as may often be seen in an insect's form, and which niark 

 the progress of its life. He shows how very wide a field of interesting facts is in 

 reach of any one who has the patience to collect the.se little creatures. The work is 

 not a te.x.t-book, but can be used as supplementary reading. Teachers who may care 

 to complete their school or private libraries by an exhaustive treatment of Ento- 

 mology will find the most complete and up-to-date work of the kind in Dr. Packard's 

 elaborate te.xt-book, to be issued shortly. This volume will serve as a somewhat 

 popular introduction to the suliject.
