HISTORY OF THE ADIRONDACK BEAVER. 



393 



Their Ways, is not the work of a finished author, and has been rather 

 crudelv put together, but it is written by a practical man who has spent a 

 lifetime in the beaver country and has known his subject intimately. 



Castorologia, as its sub-title indicates, is devoted more to the historical 

 aspect of the beaver than to its natural history, and is less the result of 

 original investigation and thought than are the former two. 



LE BEAU'S MARVELOUS VISION. 

 From an old print. 



Shaggycoat is an attractive popular animal story, rather than a serious 

 work of reference. 



All of these books contain excellent illustrations from photographs 

 and drawings, giving a very clear idea of the appearance of beaver dams, 

 huts, canals, etc. Morgan's and Martin's, in addition, have valuable 

 maps and diagrams.
