E. RAY LANKESTER’S EXTINCT ANIMALS

By Prof. E. Ray Lankester, F.R.S., Keeper of the Natural History Department of the British Museum, Author of “The Advancement of Science” and “A Treatise of Zoölogy.” With numerous illustrations. $1.75 net; by mail, $1.93.

An interesting book by a high authority, based on a course of his successful, popular lectures. His narrative is well unified and developed, and his style so simple that children as well as older folk may enjoy the work. The illustrations are unusually effective.

N. Y. Sun:—A charming book ... showing that the greatest learning can be combined with the utmost simplicity of expression ... a book of intense interest ... the pictures are skilfully arranged to elucidate the text.

N. Y. Globe:—A great deal more lively than it sounds.... Huxley himself could not have talked more instructively in such simple language.

N. Y. Tribune:—Opens up a world of new interest, popular rather than technical.

E. RAY LANKESTER’S THE KINGDOM OF MAN

“Nature’s Insurgent Son”; “The Advance of Science—1881–1906”; “Nature’s Revenges—The Sleeping Sickness.” $1.40 net; by mail, $1.52.

A readable and pictorial survey, brief but nevertheless accurate, of the recent progress in the many branches of science—all leading towards the realization of man’s kingdom—the conquest and control of nature.

H. I. Brock in a three-column notice in the New York Times Saturday Review.—An impressive statement of human progress in knowledge and power by a conservative scientist who believes man soon able to eliminate disease ... exceedingly interesting ... it gathers into a very small compass and presents sharply to the layman an immensely impressive set of facts and ideas.

⁂ If the reader will send his name and address, the publishers will send, from time to time, information regarding their new books.

THE AMERICAN NATURE SERIES

In the hope of doing something toward furnishing a series where the nature-lover can surely find a readable book of high authority, the publishers of the American Science Series have begun the publication of the American Nature Series. It is the intention that in its own way, the new series shall stand on a par with its famous predecessor.

The primary object of the new series is to answer questions which the contemplation of Nature is constantly arousing in the mind of the unscientific intelligent person. But a collateral object will be to give some intelligent notion of the “causes of things.”

While the coöperation of foreign scholars will not be declined, the books will be under the guarantee of American experts, and generally from the American point of view; and where material crowds space, preference will be given to American facts over others of not more than equal interest.

The series will be in six divisions:

I. NATURAL HISTORY

This division will consist of two sections.

Section A. A large popular Natural History in several volumes, with the topics treated in due proportion, by authors of unquestioned authority. 8vo. 7½ × 10¼ in.

The books so far publisht in this section are:

FISHES, by David Starr Jordan, President of the Leland Stanford Junior University. $6.00 net; carriage extra.

AMERICAN INSECTS, by Vernon L. Kellogg, Professor in the Leland Stanford Junior University. $5.00 net; carriage extra.

Arranged for are:

SEEDLESS PLANTS, by George T. Moore, Head of Department of Botany, Marine Biological Laboratory, assisted by other specialists.

Knowlton, M.S., Ph.D., Member American Ornithologists Union, President Biological Society of Washington, etc., etc. 294with Chapter on Anatomy of Birds by Frederic A. Lucas, Chief Curator Brooklyn Museum of Arts and Sciences, and edited by Robert Ridgway, Curator of Birds, U. S. National Museum.

REPTILES AND BATRACHIANS, by Leonhard Steineger, Curator of Reptiles, U. S. National Museum.

Section B. A Shorter Natural History, mainly by the Authors of Section A, preserving its popular character, its proportional treatment, and its authority so far as that can be preserved without its fullness. Size not yet determined.

II. CLASSIFICATION OF NATURE

1. Library Series, very full descriptions. 8vo. 7½ × 10¼ in.

Already publisht:

These books will treat of the relation of facts to causes and effects—of heredity and the relations of organism to environment. 8vo. 6⅝ × 8⅞ in.

Already publisht:

THE BIRD: ITS FORM AND FUNCTION, by C. W. Beebe, Curator of Birds in the New York Zoological Park. 8vo, 496 pp. $3.50 net; by mail, $3.80.
