Abstract
THE sub-title of this book indicates accurately its scope. The round of the year is divided into six bi-monthly periods, January and February—November and December; and in each such period paragraphs are allotted to the mammals, birds, reptiles, and other animals, both vertebrate and invertebrate, and also to the plants, both flowering and otherwise, that are then likely to come under observation. The illustrations, whether coloured or black-and-white, are excellent, being the work of some of the most expert nature-photographers. As a practical popular guide to the plant and animal life of the countryside, the book can be highly commended.
