Abstract
THIS is a small book, but within its well-writ ten and well-illustrated 136 pages it contains a two-fold purpose which it should go far to achieve, namely, on one hand, that of strengthening and popularising the Scout movement by emphasising one of its most attractive activities, and, on the other hand, of inculcating a better arid more intelligent appreciation of Nature. Nature study properly carried out in the true spirit of the Scouts affords wide scope for exploration and adventure, especially when undertaken with the stimulating guidance of such capable and well-informed leaders as Mr. Martin Baker.
