understanding of the wild creatures of the woods, and illustrated by Mr. Copeland in such a way as to cause the author to say 
that “he makes the animals live again and peep at me shyly from behind old mossy logs, or glide away into their leafy solitudes, 
halting, listening, looking back at ms inquisitively, just as they did in the wilderness.”

e.g., ‘Animals Exterminated in the 19th Century,” ‘““The Colouration of Large Animals,” “Monkey Handprints,” ‘‘ Deserts 
and their Inhabitants,” “The Predigree of the Cat,” “‘ How Arctic Animals turn White,” ‘‘Armour-clad Whales,” ‘*The Beaver 
iu Norway,” “A Giant among Seals,” “Scorpions and their Antiquity.” All lovers of animals and those interested in natural 
history must read this important yolume of popular zoological essays, for it can truly claim to be the latest work on almost 
every branch of natural history to which the observations of explorers throughout the world haye brought fresh light in the 
past decade.
