“When Mr. Long is describing the habits of animals, and telling us stories about them, he is interesting and readable; but when he puts his own ideas into the mouth of a wild rabbit, the result is apt to be a little tedious.”

* Long, William Joseph. Whose home is the wilderness: some studies of wild animal life. il. *$1.25. Ginn.
7–37000.
A book of intimate observations recorded at the end of a season of “Watching the wild things.” It aims first, to show some of the unrecorded facts of animal life exactly as the author has seen them; second, to reproduce as far as possible the spirit of the place and the hour, and to let one also feel something of that gladness and peace which the author has always found in the silent places.
