Gordon, Charles Reid, E. L. Turner, the Editor and other T.C. & E.C. Jack 1910 Published in four volumes, each of which was divided into three sections. Includes 200 colour plates and many black and white photographs. From the preface: One result of the growing interest taken during recent years in the study of ornithology is a considerable addition to our knowledge of the habits of British Birds. As no important comprehensive British work on the subject has appeared since the well-known Histories of Yarrell (revised and partly rewritten by Newton and Saunders, 1871-85) and Seebohm (1883-85), this knowledge remains inaccessible to those of us who are not prepared to search through a large and scattered literature, periodical and other. The sources of information available, moreover, before the above Histories appeared, have yet to be exhausted. Superior to both of them, in its account of a number of our species, is the monumental German work of the Naumanns, father and son, a new edition of which, revised by several prominent European ornithologists under the editorship of Dr. Carl Hennicke, was issued in 1897-1905 under the title of the Naturgeschichte der Vogel Mitteleuropas. But this edition, while giving very complete treatment to the description and distribution of most of the species, still leaves unrecorded many of the observations on their habits that have been made in our own and other countries. There is, therefore, place for a work that will bring together from every source, foreign and native, all the available information of any importance concerning the habits of British Birds. To do this, and to do it in a form interesting alike to the student of animal life and the general reader, is the chief object of the present undertaking.

Natural History In Zoological Gardens Frank E. Beddard Illustrations: Gambier Bolton & Winifred Austen Archibald Constable & Co / J.B. Lippincott Company 1905 Subtitle: Being some account of vertebrated animals, with special reference to those usually to be seen in the Zoological society's gardens in London and similar institutions. Preface: "I give in the following pages an account of one hundred and seventeen kinds of animals, with shorter references to some others, the great majority of which are certain to be represented in most Zoological Gardens. These types of vertebrate life are placed in due relation to each other by some details concerning the structure and classification of the vertebrata, which precede in an orderly way the sections referring to those several types. The volume thus contains a sketch of vertebrate life which may serve as an introduction to more exhaustive studies. It will also, I hope, be of some assistance to those who desire to know something of the great variety of animal life exhibited in these institutions, and as a guide to the mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians therein collected together."

The Adventures of a Siberian Cub Aleksei Milchailovich Slivitskii Translation: Leon Golschmann Illustrations: Winifred Austen Jarrold and Sons 1898? From a review in the Spectator (August 1898): "This is a very lively story of bear-life in Siberia. Mishook and his sister are twin bear cubs. Their father has been killed while devouring a field of oats; before they are full-grown they lose their mother. Then they themselves fall into captivity. The life of a bear in the woods must be, in a degree, a matter of conjectures; how he behaves himself as companion of man there are means of knowing. Both parts of the book are well done, and the illustrations are decidedly good."	Buy from amazon.co.uk
