Each book sets out the salient features of the environment; its 



Geology and its animal and vegetable inhabitants. The text is written 



in a simple, bright, interesting, and informative manner, so as to appeal 



to children of the middle standards. 



The illustrations are a special feature and are so produced as to give 

 a thoroughly accurate impression of the objects 

 depicted in their natural surroundings. 



There are 8 coloured plates in each book made 

 direct from photographs of the natural objects, besides 

 a number of half-tone photographic illustrations of the 

 living animal or plant, the importance of which need 

 hardly be emphasised.

 rivals in their particular sphere." — The Guardian.

 praise." — School Nature Study.

 fically correct. The illustrations are specially beautiful." — Educational News.
