Description

Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding

Rev John George Wood explores the natural habitats of animals, beginning with the simple burrow, and proceeding with creatures that suspend their homes in the air; those that form their domicile with mud, stones, and sticks; those who live in the water; those that live in communities; parasitic animals; and those who build on branches.

A later printing, with new designs by W. F. Keyl and E. Smith, engraves by G. Pearson. Illustrations are featured in the text and in full page plates.
