Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Nature Notes, Vol. 18: January, 1907
Nevertheless he writes of things he evidently loves and knows, and about which he holds opinions which are all the more valuable because they are not always those which are current among naturalists. Those interested in Nature Study, as well as those who like good writing, will appreciate the book, and everyone should take to heart the concluding words of the preface which we print in italic type.
