**** In this book Mr. Finn deals with various out-of-the-way subjects 
connected with the study of living birds and other animals, 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 8vo 
(9 x 5f 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.
