EXTINCT ANIMALS 



By E. RAY LANKESTER, F.R.S. 



With numerous illustrations. $1.75 net, postage extra 



An account of animals, many of which lived on the earth in ages 

 before written history. The author 'bases the book on his popular 

 lectures, and although the story is told so simply -that children cannot 

 fail to understand it, it is in no way lacking in scientific value, and 

 will be full of interest for older people as well. The story of these 

 animals is in some measure the story of the earth itself. 



THE COUNTRY DAY BY DAY

 scenes, but of interest to the American nature-lover by reason of its 

 marked literary quality and the wealth of detailed observation which it 

 contains. It is a note-book of birds, flowers, animals, and all the varied 

 life of the woods and fields, unfolding, in a way which will delight those 

 who know the country, the progress of nature day by day throughout the 

 year. There are numerous pictures from photographs taken in the field 

 by the author.

 sleep." — Critic.
