posed that the work has been compiled without scientific plan ; 

 but the reader is not over-weighted with the heavy armour of 

 Zoological nomenclature. * * * It is a most creditable pro- 

 duction, alike to the author and to the press from which it

* * * "A handsome and interesting volume. The book 

 contains much information that will be found as interesting to 

 the general public, as it is likely to be useful to those who own

to have carried his observation of these interesting creatures 

 [anthropoid apes] to the utmost length." STATESMAN. 



"THE WORK has been drawn up on an admirable and 

 exhaustive plan. * * Most careful observations have been 

 made, and voluminous notes recorded, of the temper, propensities, 

 amusements and other occupations, moods, calls and other habits 

 of the various mammals and birds that have from time to time, 

 been kept in the Gardens. * * * We are convinced from a 

 perusal of the work that it would not only make a capital hand- 

 book, which would "be of great use to the numerous nobles and 

 other persons who on a smaller scale keep collections of animals 

 or birds in captivity," but would also form an admirable text- 

 book on Zoology for those of our schools and colleges in which 

 natural history is taught." Bab u S. C. Mitra. If. A., B. L. in the 

 Calcutta Review" and " Journal of the Bombay Natural History 

 Society."
