Eeptiles. Tradition has done much to inculcate this antipathy ;and the natural dread inspired by such as the snakes, has provided justification for its perpetuation. I f, however, it be true that a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind,7 then, surely, many of those who now regard theE eptiles as natures outlaws, should be induced to reconsider their harsh verdict; since, as it is the purpose of this little book to show, like ourselves, these creatures are also called upon to battle with nature for a hold on life. In the preparation of these pages I have received much kindly help from Dr A. Smith Woodward, F.E.S., of theB ritish Museum of Natural History; and fromM rG-. A. Boulenger, F.E.S., also of theM useum. For the most valuable assistance which they have giyen me I am grateful. Those who may wish to pursue their enquiries into the story of Eeptile Life yet further, will find a mine of information in Dr A. Smith Woodward sP alaeontology of Vertebrates, and Dr Gadow svolume onE eptiles in the Cambridge Natural History. W. P. PYCRAFT. LONDON, 1905. -.
