IN a previous book, 'life at the Zoo, ' the writer gave the result of some experiments showing the tastes and preferences of animals for colour, music, and perfumes. The following notes deal with some (if the more general activities and emotions of their every-day life. Routine, as M. George Leroy re marked in his 'lettres sur Les finimoux, ' is the main feature in their existence; but this routine embraces a very wide range of practical effort. Considering the difference of their equipment contrasted with that of man, they secure a large share of happiness and comfort, judged from the animal point of View. Most of the papers were originally contributed to the Spectator, to whose Editors the Author has to offer his renewed thanks for permission to publish them.
