HOLLAND, W.J.
The Moth Book.
Doubleday. 4.00
An intelligent boy or girl of fourteen, with a real interest in the
subject, will enjoy this fine work on the moths of North America north
of Mexico, though it is written more from the standpoint of the
student than are most of the series to which it belongs. There are
fifteen hundred figures in the forty-eight colored plates, and three
hundred black and white text figures, illustrating a majority of the
larger species.
JORDAN, D.S., and B.W. EVERMANN.
American Food and Game Fishes.
Doubleday. 4.00
These two distinguished scientists have given in this treatise on
ichthyology a popular account of the species found in America north of
the Equator, with keys for ready identification, life-histories, and
methods of capture. There are ten lithographed plates in color, and
sixty-four in black and white from photographs from life taken by (p. 221)
Mr. Dugmore, these being the first really successful photographs of
live fish ever secured.
KEELER, H.L.
Our Native Trees, and How to Identify Them.
Scribner. 2.00
A guide to the identification of the trees of the United States,
with three hundred and forty illustrations, more than half of
them from photographs. The book is the work of one who is a
tree-lover as well as a botanist, and besides being
scientifically accurate the book has a distinct literary flavor.
Invaluable as an aid to firsthand acquaintance with the
trees.--_Prentice and Power._
The volume is not too large to be easily carried while walking.
LUCAS, F.A.
Animals of the Past.
Illustrated by C.R. Knight and Others.
Doubleday. 2.00
The object of this book is to tell some of the interesting facts
concerning a few of the better known or more remarkable of these
extinct inhabitants of the ancient world.--_Introduction._
"Mr. Knight ... is the one modern artist who can picture
prehistoric animals with artistic charm of presentation as well
as with full scientific accuracy."
While Mr. Lucas did not, in this instance, write for children, they
greatly enjoy his descriptions, and are captivated by Mr. Knight's
pictures of the strange creatures. There is a very interesting chapter
on The Ancestry of the Horse.
