WILD LIFE AT THE LAND'S END
Observations of the habits and haunts of the Fox, Badger, Otter, Seal, Hare, and of their pursuers in Cornwall. Daily Chronicle.—"His book has all the charm of the best conversation of a sportsman of the old school, mingled with that of a gamekeeper and a poacher." With Illustrations.

THE LIFE STORY OF AN OTTER
The Times.—"The book is one in which naturalists will especially rejoice, because they will find what cannot be found elsewhere; but there is no class of reader above the age of twelve who would not find satisfaction in this speaking description of Western scenery and graphic tale of the most mysterious of its denizens."

HOMING WITH THE BIRDS
The History of a Lifetime of Personal Experience. By Gene Stratton-Porter. This is the record, faithfully and simply set down, of many of the outstanding, the unusual, peculiar incidents in Mrs Porter's intimate studies of bird life. With Illustrations from photographs made by the Author.

BIRD LIFE AND BIRD LORE

By R. Bosworth Smith. A book conversant with birds in the freshness of their prime, in their noon-tide dreams, in their renewed activity at the approach of evening. It seeks to penetrate behind the bright eyes to the eager, vivid, attractive, and mysterious life. With Illustrations.
