L ittle bandar has been looking at Vol. I of the STANDARD LIBRARY OF 
NATURAL HISTORY. His folks are there, sure enough, with the other “kindred of the 
wild,” whose photo portraits—after patient toil and with frequent danger—were gotten every¬ 
where, from neighboring marsh and woodlot, or the far-off rim o’ the world. To illustrate the enter¬ 
prise with which this work was made, we may say that it contained an article (with photographs) on the 
Okapi (the newly discovered animal) by Sir Harry Johnston, the discoverer, long before the American 
Museum received a specimen. Pictures are there, too, of domestic creatures, from the most typical 
individuals obtainable. 
STANDARD LIBRARY OF NATURAL HISTORY 
By Associated 
T he finest results of the new nature study—over 2,000 half¬ 
tone illustrations from photographs. The accompanying text 
is by a grotp of eminent experts of two continents, and is 
delightfully clear and absorbingly entertaining. This set has well 
been called “Nature bound in the covers of a book.” It is abso¬ 
lutely the most attractive presentment ever made of the animal 
world, and in its field has no rival. 
Naturalists 
“American Conservation,” the official organ of the National Con¬ 
servation Associat on, says of these books: “Their accuracy, thor¬ 
oughness, and attractiveness do credit to their editors and pub¬ 
lishers.” “The LIBRARY is astonishing,” says Forest and Stream, 
“for the wealth of illustrations it displays. It is well called ‘a 
portrait gallery of actual life.’ The reading matter is interesting 
—in part because it differs so widely from most natural histories.” 
“I keep it constantly at my elbow,” declares Dan Beard.
