Abstract

THIS is the first of a series of useful semi-popular volumes dealing with the land of the lemurs. It is admirably illustrated and fulfils its purpose well. One of the authors clearly has an intimate personal knowledge of the mammals, the account of which occupies nearly half the work and is illustrated by 27 plates. The invertebrates are treated very briefly, for as yet they are little known. The bibliography is particularly valuable. The French know how to write such books; they select the form in which they might lecture, bringing in all necessary scientific facts, but no others, in an attractive manner.
