“I can no more explain why I like "natural history" than why I like California canned peaches; nor why I do not care for that enormous brand of natural history which deals with invertebrates any more than why I do not care for brandied peaches.

“I have read a great deal about what animals dream, but none of it has ever really satisfied me.
