Abstract
THE present volume forms an addition to the now considerable list of those well-known and trustworthy “Faunas” of counties or special areas which have from time to time issued from the publishing house of David Douglas in Edinburgh. It is not an unworthy companion to them. The majority of its predecessors, however, have included the complete vertebrate fauna of the region dealt with, and, remembering the limited area of the Isle of Man, the present volume might well have done the same without increasing very seriously the labours of the author or the size of the book. It would then have been a useful complement to the “Vertebrate Fauna of Lakeland,” by the late Rev. H. A. Macpherson, in the same series, and would have filled a blank.
