In Dwellers in the Pond, by the Rev. Theodore Wood

(T. C. and E. C. Jack, is. net), both t3xt and pictures are all that could be desired. We begin with "sticklebacks "—every boy begins with them ; sturdy little creatures that they are, they seem specially meant for this—pass on to frogs, and are introduced to newts, water-beetles, moorhens, dragon-flies—which have been dwellers in ponds, though in this story they have left them—and other creatures, and find their acquaintance very interesting.
