Ingersoll’s “ Life of Animals.” “ The Life of Animals: The Mam­ mals,” by Ernest Ingersoll is one of the most important additions in recent years to the literature of popular natural history. This book portrays the life of the mammals —the four- footed, furry creatures; their ancestry, their place in nature, their means of making a living, their characters and accomplishments. It is brilliantly and bountifully illustrated with new colored plates, more than a hundred unpublished photographs from life and many original drawings. The text is as clear
