“There are some respects in which Mr. MacColl appears too much dominated by ordinary language. The present volume is interesting and instructive, and the points in which it is incontrovertible are much more numerous than those in which it is open to doubt.”

McCook, Henry C. Nature’s craftsmen: popular studies of ants and other insects; il. from nature. **$2. Harper.
7–12257.
A book which has grown out of a series of nature articles printed in Harper’s magazine during the past four years. The papers deal principally with popular phases of insect and aranead life, with themes drawn chiefly from the author’s own specialties, ants and spiders. In addition, the products of some original studies have been included, as, for instance, wild bees, water-striders, caddis-flies, wasps and ant-lions.
“Well written, printed, illustrated and bound.”
