Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Field Naturalist's Handbook Now, it is absolutely impossible to be a practical insect-hunter or egg-collector without learning something of the plants on which insects feed, or the trees on which the majority of birds build. It is useless to read that certain caterpillars feed upon certain plants unless the plants can be recognised, as well as the caterpillars, and their probable localities known. Nor can the names of trees be any guide to the nests of the birds that build in them if the reader does not know an elm from an ash. I have therefore placed Zoology and Botany side by side in the present work, and made it a guide to the plants and trees as much as to the insects and nests. I have already stated in the preface that, as far as possible, the arrangement of insects and plants is by months, the former being reckoned by their period of appearance in the perfect state, and the latter by their time of owering. In an extremely variable climate, however, such dates can only be approximate, as a mild winter and warm spring will hasten the advent both of insects and plants, while a severe winter and cold spring will retard them. The reader, however, will find that, taking one year with another, the dates here given will be tolerably correct. As the birds lay their eggs somewhere about the same time of year, and could be crowded into a very few months, the arrangement is that of their natural order, and not of seasons. It is true that several birds will rear more than one brood in the same year, but even in such cases the first brood only is mentioned, as the number of broods is dependent upon external conditions, such as the temperature of the season, the supply of food, and freedom from disturbance. In order to compress the work within the limits of a portable Handbook, a few abbreviations have been used. Most of them are familiar to entomologists, but I will brie y explain them, so that the reader may have no trouble with them.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Country Rambles: Being a Field Naturalist's and Country Lover's Note Book for a Year This volume consists Of notes on Natural History written in a plain and unvarnished style, and placed under the dates when they occurred, or general information which came under my notice during the closing year Of the Nineteenth Century. There are some entries which may appear trifling, but a true Observer Of Nature should not fail to set on record anything occurring in the Natural History world, as in the future that apparently un important note may be the connecting link which goes to complete a chain of some importance. There are many entries of Birds, Mammals, Butterflies, Insects, Fishes, Trees, Flowers, etc., which may be looked for at certain stated times in any year; thus this Diary will also serve as a Natural History Calendar. For the most part my notes refer to the sights and sounds seen and heard during the year in quiet, homely Hertfordshire, and these together with the other features introduced from time to time, will, it is hoped, be acceptable to those to Whom such a volume appeals, and if it imbues any indifferent observers with a love for Natural History, especially that Of our own Country, it will nor have been written in vain.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Work of the Naturalist in the World Here can be no broader question, touching us all, than the influence of our profession upon the world. With your per mission I will present a series of considerations in regard to our professional careers which ought, in my opinion, to receive more attention than hitherto. I am aware that in doing this I depart very far from our custom, your previous presidents having each dealt with some broad but specific problem of natural history in their formal addresses. I must leave it to your judgment whether or not I have done wisely in not following, in the present address, the example of my distinguished predecessors. The object of the naturalist is to discover the truth about Nature, and to record his discoveries in a form which will render them available to others. Original research is the pivot of knowl edge.

Half way across the two animal trails were aug meated by two more, - the big footprints of two men. From all appearances, the trail was getting warm and would soon terminate. Sure enough, it did, - at the stone wall bounding the farther side of the field. Here a large pile of stones (pulled from the wall but, as usual, not re placed) showed where bunny had taken refuge from his f our - legged pursuer, only to be pulled out by the two - legged ones. From this spot two pairs of shoe prints and one hound - trail led away as the owners went off in search of more game.

Although he appears to have travelled over a great part of Europe in the service of the state; to have visited Africa, and perhaps Egypt and Palestine, yet no record of these adventures has been preserved; and had it not been for the occasional notices that occur in his own writings, and especially the information respecting his private habits and li terary labours, contained in the Epistles of his ne phew and namesake, Pliny the Younger, posterity would have known nothing of the biography of this great historian of Nature, except the era in which he ourished, the works he produced, and the re markable circumstances attending his death. Of the different accounts of this illustrious author which we possess, the most ancient is that ascribed to Susto nius, - the most ample is given by Count Rezzonico.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In a single volume Ernest Thompson Seton, renowned naturalist, writer, artist, and founding leader of the Boy Scouts of America, presents one of the most comprehensive guides to the outdoors ever written. Originally published in 1922 as The Book of Woodcraft, this work represents the culmination of years of observation and experience in the wilderness. Within these pages lie instructions and anecdotes—some expected, some delightfully unanticipated—regarding literally hundreds of arts, crafts, skills, and games. Here one can learn to distinguish edible plants from poisonous ones; start a fire using only a jackknife; build a four-store birdhouse out of a wooden box; communicate in sign language; tie a variety of essential knots; identify trees, wildflowers, animals, birds, and constellations; and much, much more.
