Wonders of Animal Life. By F. Martin Duncan, F.R.M.S., F.R.P.S.,
and S. T. Duncan. (Milford.)—Under this general title there is a series of capital little books of which we have before us : Animal Life in Africa, Animal Life in the East, Animal Life in the New World, and Animal Friends. Each volume is complete in itself, but the boy or girl who has read one will certainly want to possess the others. They are written in a pleasant, readable style, and the authors have the art of writing simply without giving the irritating impression that they are looking down on their audience from arid heights of learning. Instead, they enter at once into friendly relations with the beasts and with the reader, and the latter will find that he has greatly increased his knowledge of many creatures by the time he has turned the last page of the last book. These slim little volumes are prettily bound and well illustrated in colour and in black and white, besides containing some photographs evidently taken at the Zoo.
