Abstract
THIS handy little volume will be welcomed by a large number of amateur naturalists, and can be cordially recommended to all who wish for full and accurate knowledge of the habits, life histories, and appearances of those members of the British fauna that are included in the three classes specified in the sub-title. Hitherto it has not been possible to secure such information within the covers of a single small volume, nor in any one work at so low a price. The illustrations are excellent, the plain being from the work of our best naturalist photographers, such as Messrs. Douglas English, Oxley Grabham, and others, while forty-eight photographs in the natural colours are to the credit of Mr. W. J. Stokoe. The cooperation of these talented artists with the author results in a very satisfactory pocket guide.
