Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Curious Flyers, Creepers and Swimmers The reasons why this book appears as appended to the series of the Natural History supplementary readers are as follows: In preparing the third and fourth books of the series, much more matter accumulated than could be contained in the volumes of the size contemplated; and the only alternative was either to cut down the chapters by leaving out a large share of the story part, or to drop whole chapters, thus omitting the notice of many orders of animals, and marring the original plan of the work. After deliberation, the latter method was adopted, and reluctantly the four volumes were given to the public with important topics wholly omitted. The amount of this matter was so great that it was at length resolved to make this additional volume, so that our little friends at home and at school may have the story of animals and the simple outline of their description nearly complete.
