Abstract
IT is somewhat of a venture to compress a knowledge of the animal kingdom, with its three-quarters of a million species, into a single volume, and preserve at the same time a balance between the different groups. But here the attempt has been successfully made, the more obscure groups receiving due place, the more familiar groups, such as birds and mammals, properly being singled out for relatively more expansive treatment.
