American Animals

THIS describes by families, genera, and species, the mammals native to this continent, north of Mexico. Intimate biographies of familiar and important kinds enrich the descriptions, which are ample for identification. The true sportsman here joins with the naturalists in denouncing the unchecked slaughter of game, by hunters and trappers, for gain or mere wantonness. The view-point of the authors is sane and sympathetic. The book is readable and scientifically accurate, full of interesting things about the behaviour of our wild animals.
