Abstract
MR. SELOUS has been well advised to commit to a book his recollections of natural history in connection with the big game of Africa. There is still a. branch of zoological science which may be called by the nearly discarded title of “natural history” instead of biology; and although the latter is the more important type of research, biologists are probably the first to desire to couple with their knowledge of the body of the dead organism accurate information as to its life-habits; for this must evidently furnish the necessary explanation of peculiarity of structure while being frequently an additional aid to classification.
