"Never in the world's history has sympathy between man and 
animals stood for what it does to-day that, of course, by reason of 
man's education and ubiquity and nowhere else could we see a more 
pleasing result of the combination of these factors than in the Zoo- 
logical Gardens, where the collection numbers about four thousand 
specimens, including almost every wild animal known, from an 
elephant proper to an elephant-shrew." 
Such are the author's opening lines in this book. The writer, de- 
sirous of further familiarizing animal life, mentions not only such 
creatures as, by reason of their size or colour, readily catch the eye, 
but also the quaint, curious, and lesser known little animals that may 
truly be said to belong to the bypaths of life. These notes and de- 
scriptions show the charm of style, sympathy, and, above all, fine 
powers of observation which characterize the author's writings ; more- 
over, Mrs. Innes Pocock is peculiarly fitted for the work to which she 
sets her pen, inasmuch as she writes with a knowledge of her subject 
born of twenty years' experience, and, as the wife of Mr. R. I. POCOCK, 
F.R.S.,the Superintendent of the Zoological Society's Gardens, she 
has unique opportunities of becoming acquainted with so many forms 
of animal life.
