Book Description
Excerpt from Stories of the First American Animals In the San Juan region of northern New Mexico are rocks containing bones of dinosaurs similar to those of Hell Creek and Lance Creek. On top of them are more rocks, 800 feet thick, filled with bones of marsupials and a few true mammals, but no dinosaurs whatever, and on the top of this second series are still more rocks, minus dinosaurs and marsupials, and containing only the remains of true mammals. An important succession of animal life is thus established. The Age of Reptiles below, the Age of Mammals above, with marsupials yielding their place to true mammals in the topmost of the three deposits. It is from such records that we learn much concerning the progress of ancient animal life. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Animal Story Book There was a stage in human growth when sym pathy for any one Of another tribe was scoffed at, or even considered criminal. But this sympathy came; men learned that justice is wider than the tribal limit, though it was still considered absurd to waste pity on Slaves. In time, even that became first a possible, then an accepted thing. The broadening sympathy which is, after all, the law of love, thus took in all Of mankind, and is following further along the lines drawn by the Great Hindu, who taught that in this broadest sympathy should be included the Whole Irving world.

Book Description
Excerpt from Animals Before Man in North America: Their Lives and Times The preference has naturally been given to the larger animals. As a rule, not only do we know them better, but they are likely to be more impressive and interesting than their small associates. Just as today the larger animals give us our clearest impressions of the difier ences between the animals of different parts of the earth, so do they mark most plainly the distinctions between the life of the present and that of the past.

Book Description
Excerpt from Mammals of America N preparing the text Of Mammals Of America two classes Of readers have been kept constantly in mind the inexperienced Observer or layman who is yet fond Of animals, and the trained naturalist or sportsman who wishes to supplement his field knowledge with exact book statement. The interest Of both Of these groups may be Similarly keen, but their approach to the subject would necessarily be different. Young people are naturally interested in all living things. From the house dog or cat to the zoological or circus animal, their attention is easily aroused and held. If in later years they do not keep their interest, it is because they have not been allowed to study the subject systematically.

Book Description
Excerpt from American Animals a Popular Guide to the Mammals of North America, North of Mexico: With Intimate Biographies of the More Familiar Species N preparing the present volume the aim has been to produce I a work sufficiently free from technicalities to appeal to the general reader and at the same time to include such scientific information relative to our North American mammals as would be desired by one beginning their study. The key at the end of the volume will be found of service in identifying unfamiliar mammals, and includes certain characters omitted from the body of the book. As a guide to further study there has been appended a bibliography of the principal works on North American mammals. To many of these I would express my indebtedness, especially to the writings of Allen, Merriam, Miller, Bangs and Rhoads, and also my acknowledgments to the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and Mr. Samuel N. Rhoads for the privi lege of studying the specimens contained in their collections. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from Stories About Animals The giraffe's only means of defence is in its legs, and it uses its heels for kicking to an extra ordinary extent, more so than any other animal, not excepting the horse. The prominence of the eyes enable it to see behind, when directing its heels against an enemy, while the blow it gives will crush in the skull of a man, or give him some broken ribs. If unmolested, it is one of the most innocent of animals. Though sometimes it meets its death from animals far below itself in size and strength, as the following account will show.

Excerpt from The Red Book of Animal Stories To Miss Sybil Corbet Author of 'Animal Land' 'Sybil's Garden of Pleasant Beasts' and 'Epiotic Poems' Sybil, the Beasts we bring to you Are not so friendly, not so odd, As those that all amazed we view, The brutes created by your nod - The Wuss, the Azorkon, and the Pod; But then our tales are true! Fauna of fancy, one and all Obey your happy voice, we know; A garden zoological Is all around, where'er you go. Mellys and Kanks walk to and fro, And Dids attend your call.

Book Description
Excerpt from The American Beaver and His Works This system of classification is founded exclusively upon the anatomical structure of animals, whence comparative anatomy is the source of its materials. It not only rejects the habits and properties of animals as immaterial and transient, but it also leaves out of consideration their mental endowments, which, how ever important in other respects, were incapable of affording a basis of classification. Under its clear and definite discriminations all the species of each of the four great branches of the animal kingdom are seen in intelligible and harmonious relations, notwithstanding their striking diversities of form. Unity of type runs through the structural organization of all the individuals comprised in each Of these branches. The grandeur of this fourfold plan of creation is not more impressive than the wonderful adaptation of the sur rounding elements to the condition and wants of the multitude of animal organisms which God has made.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Animals of North America The most natural supposition is, that the all-wise Creator placed each species where it was permanently destined to live; and that from these different centres of creation, combinations have so multiplied between contiguous regions, as to form the various races of animal life. When we find a country possessing a group or groups of animals not found elsewhere; we may at once set down that as being the centre of a peculiar creation. In the location of many species, nature has placed various limits, and the spaces occupied by them are most unequal. For example: the Kangaroo and Ornithorhyncus are confined to New Holland; the Grizzly Bear to the Rocky Mountains; the Dodo, now extinct, to the Mauritius; whilst the Swallow, the Crow, and the Fox, extend to every known region. The principal cause of limitation is doubtless connected with the unequal tem perature. Of localities; certain species which thrive in one climate, perishing under the influence of another - also the nature of vegetation in one country, and the absence of it in another, - as in the Polar regions, - confining to the former the larger beasts of prey, dependent on herbivorous animals as their food, with the exception of, .in the latter, those that subsist on fish. The number of Species increase as we near the tropics, and there it is where Nature has been most lavish in the diversity of life, beauty of color, strangeness of form, and greatness of proportion. The present total number of living Species which has been satisfactorily made out and ascertained, exceeds, according to Agassiz.
