This wise old nature-lover tells us in his delightful way of the fox,

pictures.

CRAGIN, B.S.
Our Insect Friends and Foes.
Putnam. 1.75
A boy of eleven once asked me, in the midst of a schoolroom talk
on the uses of participles, where a grasshopper's ears were.... I
did not wonder that he found grasshoppers more interesting than
participles--I do myself--and so, I am sure, do the young people
for whom, most of all, this book has been written.--_Preface._
Butterflies, moths, and insects, are described, and full directions
for collecting, preserving, and studying them, given in this (p. 132)
satisfactory volume, which contains many illustrations. A list of
popular and scientific names is included.

ECKSTORM, F.H.
