Abstract
Miss FRANCES PITT has done great service for her generation, in her endeavours to show the entrancing interest to be derived from the study of birds and beasts in their native wilds. There are very few who can compare with her in her ability to captivate those who have a kindly feeling for these creatures, but little or no time for first-hand observations of their ways. In this, her latest book, she has, we venture to think, surpassed all her previous efforts. Herein she presents the creatures of her choice as they are to be found during morn, noon and night. Even those who may claim to have more than a passing knowledge of the birds and beasts she describes will find something new that is worth knowing about their ways.
