Ditmars, Curator of Reptiles in the New York Zooelogical Park,
gives us a comprehensive treatise on the structure and habits of the
turtles, tortoises, crocodilians, lizards, and snakes, of the United
States and Northern Mexico. There are eight pages of plates in color
and one hundred and twenty-eight in black and white, from (p. 219)
photographs from life, taken (with six exceptions) by the Author.
In the present work the writer has sought to compile a popular
review of a great fauna--the Reptiles of North America. He has
excluded technical phraseology and tried to produce two results:
1. A popular book, that may be comprehended by the beginner and,
2. A book valuable in its details to the technical
worker.--_Preface._

This rambler's calendar of fifty-two weeks among insects, birds, and
flowers, is made attractive to young children by the unusual quality
of the many illustrations.

It has been the aim of the author to give reliable information
free from minute details and technicalities. That information has
been, for the most part, gathered through personal experience in
the mines.
