AMP-FIRES OF A NATURALIST. From the 
ag Field Notes of LEwis LINDSAY DycHE, A. M., M.S., Professor 
of Zodlogy and Curator of Birds and Mammals in the Kansas 
State University. The Story of Fourteen Expeditions after 
North American Mammals. By CLARENCE E. Epworps. 
With numerous Illustrations. 1I2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 
“‘Ttis not always that a professor of zodlogy is so enthusiastic a sportsman as Prof. 
Dyche. His hunting exploits are as varied as those of Gordon Cumming, for example, 
in South Africa. His grizzly bear is as dangerous as the lion, and his mountain sheep 
and goats more difficult to stalk and shoot than any creatures of the torrid zone. Evi- 
dently he came by his tastes as a hunter from lifelong experience.”—New York 
Tribune. 
‘*The book has no dull pages, and is often excitingly interesting, and fully in- 
: : : y, zs 
structive as to the habits, haunts, and nature of wild beasts.’’—Chicago [nter- Ocean. 
‘There is abundance of interesting incident in addition to the scientific element, 
and the illustrations are numerous and highly graphic as to the big game met by the 
hunters, and the hardships cheerfully undertaken.” —Avooklyn Eagle. 
““The narrative is simple and manly and full of the freedom of forests. . . . This 
record of his work ought to awaken the interest of the generation growing up, if only 
by the contrast of his active experience of the resources of Nature and of savage life 
with the background of culture and the environment of educational advantages that 
are being rapidly formed for the students of the United States. Prof. Dyche seems, 
from this account of him, to have thought no personal hardship or exertion wasted in 
his attempt to collect facts, that the naturalist of the future may be provided with com- 
plete and verified ideas as to species which will soon be extinct. This is good work— 
work that we need and that posterity will recognize with gratitude. The illustrations 
of the book are interesting, and the type is clear.”—New York Times. 
“* The adventures are simply told, but some of them are thrilling of necessity, how- 
ever modestly the narrator does his work. Prof. Dyche has had about as many expe- 
riences in the way of hunting for science as fall to the lot of the mest fortunate, and 
this recountal of them is most interesting. The camps from which he worked rangec 
from the Lake of the Woods to Arizona, and northwest to British Columbia, and in 
every region he was successful in securing rare specimens for his museum.”—C/zcago 
Times. 
‘* The literary construction is refreshing The reader is carried into the midst of 
the very scenes of which the author tells, not by elaborateness of description but by the 
directness and vividness of every sentence, He is given no opportunity to abandon 
the companions with which the book has provided him, for incident is made to follow 
incident with no intervening literary padding. In fact, the book is all action.” —Aansas 
City Fournal. 
_ ‘*As an outdoor book of camping and hunting this book possesses a timely 
interest, but. it also has the merit of scientific exactness in the descriptions of thé 
habits, peculiarities, and haunts of wild animals.’’—Phzladelphia Press. 
‘‘But what is most important of all ina narrative of this kind—for it seems to uf 
that ‘Camp-Fires of a Naturalist’ was written first of all for entertainment—these 
notes neither have been ‘ dressed up’ and their accuracy thereby impaired, nor yet res 
tailed in a dry and statistical manner. The book, in a word, is a plain narrative o/ 
adventures among the larger American animals.’’—PAiladelphia Bulletin. 
’ “We recommend it most heartily to old and young alike, and suggest it as a beauti 
ful souvenir volume for those who have seen the wonderful display of mounted animal? 
at the World's Fair.””— Topeka Capital.
