WILD CREATURES OF GARDEN AND HEDGEROW 



different things that we see happening daily. 

 We want facts, and the descriptions that are 

 given hereinafter are almost entirely the 

 observations and notes made while watching 

 the creatures in question ; and any value 

 these studies may possess will, I believe, be 

 found due to the fact that they are records at 

 first hand of what has been thus seen and learnt. 

 Four chapters have previously appeared as 

 essays in the National Review, to the Editor 

 of which, Mr. L. J. Maxse, I am indebted for 

 kindly allowing them to be republished herein.
