The Butterfly Book.
Doubleday. 3.00

Dr. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, has given us
an authoritative account of the butterfly-life of North America (p. 159)

are given for the capture, preparation, and preservation, of specimens.
There are forty-eight pages of color plates, reproducing more than a
thousand North American butterflies, and several hundred black and white

MORLEY, M.W.
A Song of Life.
Illustrated by the Author and Robert Forsyth.
McClurg. 1.25

How few thoughtful parents have not been perplexed by the question of
when and how best to tell their children the great truths of the
beginning and development of life in the world of nature. Miss (p. 160)
Morley is well qualified to treat this most difficult subject, which
she does delicately and reverently, from a scientific standpoint. As
there is so great a difference of opinion as to the advisability of
giving books of this nature to adolescent boys and girls, it is strongly
recommended that this one be carefully read beforehand by the parent.
