Abstract
WITHIN the last dozen years the author has seen the tundra and coniferous forests of the Yenisei, the steppes of south-east Russia, and the luxuriant tropical forests of Guiana. From her observations she has put together a picture of animal life in these widely different environments; the different parts of the book are introduced and co-ordinated by a general account of the adaptation of living things to their environment.
