TWO INTERESTING NEW BOOKS Bob: The Story of Our Mocking Bird
A charming vein of humor and philosophy runs through Mr. Lanier's affectionatelyintimate story of his pet Mocking Bird Bob, giving the book a literary qualityof an altogether unusual kind and setting it in a niche of its own. The illustrationshave been made with great pains and skill from nature. They portray a MockingBird from his birth to the period of full growth. Reproduced in colors from carefullymade and painted photographs, they are as artistic as they are in perfect harmonywith the author's delightful narrative, numerous passages of which they illustrate. BY THE AUTHOR OF "WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN." The Trail of the Sandhill Stag
As was the case with his "Wild Animals I Have Known" (now in its twentieththousand), Mr. Seton-Thompson has given this new book a unique individuality of form,bringing to its embellishment many novel and original ideas. And the story, which isthe longest, as it is the most noteworthy, that the author has published, is well deservingof his pains; for never have the glory and the joy of the chase been interpretedso vividly, never the thoughts of the hunted animal so surely read and pictured. | |

THE GULF FAUNA AND FLORA BULLETIN
Will be issued as a bi-monthly from the Louisiana Industrial Institute Press, and edited by writers on biology. It will be made a bulletin of original research, and be kept in close touch with all science societies of the Gulf section, most especially with the Louisiana State Biological Station, soon to be opened. As the name implies, the Bulletin will be devoted to the biological interests of the Gulf section. It aims to take the place of no other publication, but, on the other hand, hopes to encourage the increased circulation of biological literature, and the unification of the interests of working biologists generally.
The editors invite long or short articles; catalogues of animals or plants; sketches of past work of societies or individuals; reviews of books or other scientific publications. Articles too short for extended or general treatment, or papers too long or technical for semi-popular treatises, are especially invited. In short, the aim is to make a bulletin rather than a popular science journal.
