Wonders of Animal Life. By W. S. ]3erridge. (Simpkin, Marshall, and Co. 6s. net.)—Fish that walk, birds that do not fly, snakes that jump out of windows—these make up Mr. Berridge's sixteen chapters of large print. There is nothing new here, but a good many odd facts picked up by an observant visitor in the Zoological Gardens.
