“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.

None of the animals turned into oil, although most of the laboratory rats developed cancer.”
