ANIMAL INTELLIGENCE. By Georob J. Romanes, F. R. S., Zoological 

 Secretary of the Lluua-an Society, etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.75. 

 '• My object in the work as a whole is twofold : First, I have thought it desirable 

 that there should be something resembling a text-book of the facts of Comparative 

 Psychology, to which men of science, and also metaphysicians, may turn whenever 

 tlcv have occasion to acquaint themselves with tho particular level of Intelligence 

 to which this or that species of animal attains. My second and much more Impor- 

 tant object is that of considering tho facts of animal intelligence in their relation to tho 

 theory of descent."— From the Preface. 



" Unless we are greatly mistaken, Mr. Romanes's work will take Its place as one 

 of the most attractive volumes of tho ' International Scientific >cri.--.' Some persons 

 may, indeed, be disposed to say that it Is too attractive, that it feeds the popular taste 

 for tho curious and marvelous without supplying anv commensurate discipline in 

 exact scientific reflection ; bat the author has, we think, fully justified himself ia hla 

 mod 1 .•• result la the appearance of a collection oi facts which win be a 



toon to tin- student of Oompar r jrchology lor this is the first attempt to 



pre. .nt systematically well-assured observations on the mental life of animals."— $a(-
