Excerpt from How Animals Work I have carefully avoided all technical terms as far as possible, and endeavoured to tell the story of some of the wonders of Animal Craftsmanship in plain and simple language; for this little book is intended for the general reader, and not for the expert who has a store house of technical literature at his disposal. The very wealth of material from which to draw has been something of an embarrassment, where limited space has made it possible to give only a brief survey of certain forms, making it necessary to be somewhat drastic in the selection of examples. However, my guiding idea in their selection has been to place before the reader, as far as circumstances would permif, the most striking examples, and, at the same time, those which the reader can in a large number of cases see for himself, either during his rambles in the country, or by visiting any well-ordered natural history museum. If these pages should serve to awaken a new interest in the marvels of Nature and the wonderful skill dis played by such varied forms of animal life, and perhaps stimulate the reader to seek himself for further examples, then my labours have not been in vain, and this volume will have justified its existence.
