The general plan of each chapter is first to give an account of the Family, then the name by which each animal is known—English, scientific and native; then the geographical range, the history of the species, the narrative life-history, the distinguishing characters of the species, the coloration, the measurements of specimens, and the localities from which specimens have been examined, accompanied with a faunal map.
North Africa and the Desert
By George E. Woodberry.
$2.00 net; postage extra.
This is one of that very small group of books in which a man of genuine poetic vision has permanently registered the color and spirit of a region and a race. It is as full of atmosphere and sympathetic interpretation as any that have been written. Chapters like that on “Figuig,” “Tougourt,” “Tripoli,” and “On the Mat”—a thoughtful study of Islam—have a rare beauty and value.

It is the story of a brave life amid harsh, grand, and sometimes awful surroundings.
