Abstract
THOSE who already know these zoological essays will welcome their re-publication in book form; those who have not previously discovered them in periodical literature may be envied their treat in store. For the essays are at the high-water mark of zoological exposition; they are vividly interesting, yet scrupulously accurate; they are rich in fresh facts, salted with big evolutionary ideas. The author is well known as one of the foremost experts on mammals, and he has exhibited for eemany years the great gift of discussing difficult problems “popularly,” without blunting the edge of his scientific thoroughness.
