The Rev. Mr.. Wood has endeaTed himself to pub

talent for original investigation he has served up the
fruits of othermens researches in an

circle of readers who hate scientib study but love
scientific amusement. The present work covers
of course much of the ground which
he has traversed before; but its features

Wood has undertaken to identify every animal men

Identification is not always easy, nor does Mr. Wood
feel confident that he has always succeeded; but no

Nearly all these drawings are excellent, and many OF

press work of the cuts, though performed by one OF
