British Museum (p. 38) 
An account of the life of John Ed- 
ward Gray (1800-1875) and Albert 
Gunther (1830-1914), A. E. Gun- 
ther’s A Century of Zoology at the 
British Museum Through the Lives 
of Two Keepers (London: William 
Dawson and Sons Ltd., 1975) is also 
a record of zoology and natural history 
in the late nineteenth century, ending 
with a chapter on “The Problem of 
Darwinism.” G.R. DeBeer’s Sir Hans 
Sloane and the British Museum (New 
York: Arno Press, 1975) is a detailed 
biography of the physician, naturalist, 
and great collector. The Life of Rich- 
ard Owen (London: Gregg Interna- 
tional, 1970) is a biography of the 
famous naturalist written by his grand- 
son, Rev. R. Owen. Originally pub- 
lished in two volumes in 1895, this 
book includes an essay by T.H. Hux- 
ley, “Owen’s Position in the History 
of Anatomical Science.” According to 
author J.M. Cook, his illustrated es- 
say, The British Museum (New York: 
Praeger Publishers, 1972), is “a case 
study in aesthetic politics” and an at- 
tempt to “explain the relation between 
the British Museum as an institution 
and the British Museum as a piece 
of architecture.” Cook describes E. 
Edward’s Lives of the Founders of 
the British Museum (New York: B. 
Franklin, 1969, reprint of the 1870 
edition) as “a mine of information” 
that is “ponderous but invaluable.” 
In his introduction to The Journal 
of a Disappointed Man, by W.N.P. 
Barbellion (New York: George H. 
Doran Co., 1919), H.G. Wells called 
it “the diary of an intensely egotistical 
young naturalist,” whose many accom- 
plishments included securing an 
assistantship at the British Museum 
(Natural History). J.S. Weiner’s The 
Piltdown Forgery (Oxford: Oxford 
University Press, 1955) covers an im- 
portant segment of the British Mu- 
seum’s history. Since its advent, the 
museum has published and revised a 
number of scientific papers, guides to 
the departments and exhibitions, and 
handbooks. From 1927 to 1936, the 
museum published The Natural His- 
tory Magazine. 
Acadians (p. 48) 
The Cajuns: Essays on Their His- 
tory and Culture, edited by G. Conrad 
(Baton Rouge: The Lafayette Press 
and Center for Louisiana Studies, 
1978), is a major collection of essays 
on Acadian life. Short and readable, 
J.D. Casanova and A. Landry’s 
America's French Heritage (Quebec 
City: Quebec’s Official Publisher, 
1976) includes information about the 
Acadians. Two Louisiana-based schol- 
ars, M.P. Rieder and N.G. Rieder, 
have privately published a number of 
works on the genealogical records of 
the Acadians, including Belle-Ile-en- 
Mer Registers with the La Rochet te 
Papers , volume two of a series entitled 
“The Acadian in France.” Their work 
can be obtained by writing to them 
at 1457 Poinsetta Drive, Metairie, 
Louisiana 70005. Also privately pub- 
lished are the genealogical studies 
made by A. J. Robichaux, Acadian 
Marriages in France, available from 
him at 532 Manhattan Boulevard, 
Harvey, Louisiana 70052. The Aca- 
dians, Creation of a People (Toronto: 
McGraw-Hill Ryerson, 1973) is a 
short essay on Acadian history by 
N.E.S. Griffiths. A history covering 
the deportation and exile of Acadians 
is D.J. LeBlanc’s The Acadian Mir- 
acle (Lafayette: Evangeline Publish- 
ing Co., 1966). 
Mountain Goats (p. 58) 
Hoofed Mammals of the World, 
by illustrator U. Mochi and 
mammalogist T.D. Carter (New York: 
Charles Scribner’s Sons, 1971), de- 
picts more than 290 ungulates; a chap- 
ter on the goat-antelope includes in- 
formation about the Rocky Mountain 
goat. The result of a three-year study, 
G.B. Schaller’s Mountain Monarchs 
(Chicago: University of Chicago 
Press, 1977) is a comprehensive 
overview of the behavior, ecology, and 
taxonomy of mountain ungulates in 
the Himalayas. D. McCowan’s Ani- 
mals of the Canadian Rockies (New 
York: Dodd, Mead and Co., 1936) 
devotes pages 1 19-28 to the mountain 
goat. In “On the Rutting Behavior 
of Mountain Goats” ( Journal of 
Mammalogy, November 1964, pp. 
551-68), V. Geist discusses courtship 
and rut behavior and shows that moun- 
tain goats have evolved intense threat 
displays and reduced their fighting to 
a minimum. The significance of the 
goats’ coat pattern is also explained. 
This article includes numerous 
sketches of goat postures, threat 
stances, and displays. “Winter Habitat 
Use by Mountain Goats,” a two-vol- 
ume report by J.W. Schoen (Juneau: 
Alaska Department of Fish and Game, 
October 1978; December 1979), 
assesses the home ranges and seasonal 
habitat requirements of mountain 
goats in southeastern Alaska. A 
twenty-three page description of 
mountain goat ecology and behavior 
that includes a bibliography is L.D. 
Hibb’s “A Literature Review on 
Mountain Goat Ecology” (Colorado 
Department of Game, Fish, and Parks, 
and Colorado Cooperative Wildlife 
Reserve Unit, Special Report, no. 8, 
July 1966). For a brief, general por- 
trait of the Rocky Mountain goat, see 
O.P. Breland’s “The Mountain Goat” 
( Audubon , May-June 1954, pp. 
112-13). V. Geist’s Mountain Sheep 
(Chicago: University of Chicago 
Press, 1971), a study of behavior and 
evolution, includes some information 
on goats for comparison. Featuring ap- 
proximately 200 color photographs,
