DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Amphibia and Reptiles The account of the Amphibia is more complete than that of the Reptilia. It was possible to diagnose practically all the recent genera; and this has been especially done in the Anura, in order to show how in an otherwise very homogeneous group almost any part of the body, internal or external, can be modified in kaleidoscopic variety. The same could not be done with the Reptilia. Their principal groups, - called sub-classes in the present work, in order to emphasise their taxonomic importance in comparison with the main groups of Birds and Mammals.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from British Reptiles and Amphibians This little volume, dealing with the British Reptiles and Amphibians, may well find a place in the Peeps at Nature Series. Britain has few representatives of these two classes of animals, but their fewness in number has enabled the author to deal with each species at some length; and, besides, we have the additional advantage of being able to illustrate all but two of the British species in colour. We are indebted to Miss Scrivener for the capabie way in which she has prepared the drawings from which the coloured plates have been prepared. The reader's attention is par ticularly directed to the series of photographic repro ductions on Plates III., VI., VII., X., and XL, which illustrate admirably the story of the development of the frog.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Turtles, Snakes, Frogs and Other Reptiles and Amphibians of New England and the North Many of the animals mentioned in this book suffer from our prejudices far more than any other class. They are usually little known, but persecuted, feared, hated and ruthlessly destroyed wherever found. Foremost, the snakes: these timid, watchful, silent and most graceful beings are for the most part perfectly harmless. Liven the dangerous ones only use their terrible weapons in self-defence. Turtles and frogs are often regarded as if void of feeling and ruthlessly tortured. Toads and salamanders. Useful insect-destroyers, are truly homely to look at, but hiding under ground or beneath stones seem to try their best not to hurt our feelings.

DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from The Story of Reptile Life The story of Reptile Life 1s largely the story of a people, if we may so use the word, whose glory has departed. Just as in the study of the human race we are able to follow the histories of nations, their rise, glorious zenith, and decadence; so with the Reptile folk we may trace a similar course Of evolution. The survivors of to - day are but a remnant; a feeble tribe, spurned and despised. 1. Time was when they were the domi nant forms of life upon the earth, so that we speak of the Age of Reptiles: for millions of years-from the Permian to the end of the Jurassic era - they held sway, but were at last outnumbered and overpowered by the present reigning type of animal life - the mammalia. But their defeat is without ignominy, since, as we shall show later, their conquerors are at the same time their descendants. Similarly, the Reptiles are the descendants of the race which they in turn displaced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
