Présentation de l'éditeur
The habits of animals will never be tlioronglily known till tliey are observed in detail. Nor is it sufficient to mark them witli attention now and then; they must be closely watched, their various actions carefully noted, their behaviom under different circumstances, and especially those movements which seem to us mere vagaries, undirected by any suggestible motive or cause, well examined. A rich fruit of result, often most curious and unexpected, and often singularly illustrative of peculiarities of structure, will I am sure, reward any one who studies living animals in this way. The most interesting parts, by far, of published natural history, are those minute, but most g Taphic particulars, which have been gathered by an attentive watching of individual animals. Many examples crowd up to my mind; Wilson spicture of the Mocking-bird; Vigors sof the Toucan; Broderip sof his Beaver Binny; Dovaston sof the Water-shrew; Bennett sof the Bird of Paradise, and multitudes more.

Présentation de l'éditeur
This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
