 intendent of the Indian Museum, Calcutta. With numerous

 10s. 6d. net. 



*** In this book Mr. Finn deals with various out-of-the-way subjects 

 connected with the study of living birds and other animab, with a freshness 

 of touch which is the outcome of an unusually wide experience of Nature 

 in more countries than one. While written in a popular style, the articles 

 in the work are full of original observation and deal incidentally in many 

 cases with problems of a wide scientific interest ; the author's belief, founded 

 on long experience as a lecturer, being that such subjects are often the most 

 attractive to the ordinary intelligent reader. The illustrations will be found 

 to be a notable feature of the book, having been selected with the greatest 

 care with a view to its adequate elucidation.

FROM FOX'S EARTH TO MOUN- 

 TAIN TARN 



Days Among the Wild Animals of Scotland. By J. H. 

 Crawford. With numerous Illustrations. Demy Svo 

 (9 x 5i inches). 10s. 6d, net. 



*** Mr. Crawford's book is a contribution to the natural history of 

 Scotland. He tells of days among the wild creatures, days selected on 

 account of the incident with which they were crowded. Starting from the 

 earth of the lowland fox, the volume carries us to a lonely mountain tarn. 

 It ranges to the borders of Shetland, from burn to river, from shaded lane 

 to fenceless moor and bare mountain. Scotland is perhaps the only part 

 of the British Isles where the term " wild life" has much meaning. The 

 volume is illustrated with carefully selected series of photographs from life.
