Abstract
IN this series of volumes Mr. Westell gives a rapid survey of the salient features of the commoner forms of British animal life. He recognises the enormity of the subject and, while he has been able to include all the mammals, reptiles, amphibia and fishes, he has had to be content with a selection from the birds and the barest mention of-most of the insects.
