Abstract
IN a previous little volume Mr. Cornish gave an account of life at the “Zoo,” in which he called attention to the tastes and preferences of animals for colour, music, and perfumes. In this volume he deals, for the most part, with some of the general activities and emotions of the every-day life of some mammals and birds. Most of the papers, here collected into a well-illustrated and pleasantly-written volume, have appeared from time to time in the columns of the Spectator. They cannot be said to contain much that is new, but many of the facts recorded are placed in a new light. There is a wealth of apt quotation, and, without aiming at technical description, the main facts are well put.
