Excerpt from The Story of Reptile Life The story of Reptile Life 1s largely the story of a people, if we may so use the word, whose glory has departed. Just as in the study of the human race we are able to follow the histories of nations, their rise, glorious zenith, and decadence; so with the Reptile folk we may trace a similar course Of evolution. The survivors of to - day are but a remnant; a feeble tribe, spurned and despised. 1. Time was when they were the domi nant forms of life upon the earth, so that we speak of the Age of Reptiles: for millions of years-from the Permian to the end of the Jurassic era - they held sway, but were at last outnumbered and overpowered by the present reigning type of animal life - the mammalia. But their defeat is without ignominy, since, as we shall show later, their conquerors are at the same time their descendants. Similarly, the Reptiles are the descendants of the race which they in turn displaced. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Studies of Reptile Life in the Arid Southwest I have discussed elsewhere some results of the development of the motor car and the extension of good roads in their effects on herpetological col The consequent ease of access to remote territories and the num ber of specimens found run over on the road which are still in a condition satisfactory for study, have greatly improved the character and scope of our collections, and our knowledge of reptile ranges. It is but natural that the use of the motor car has been extended to a particular phase of this kind of collecting, namely, the hunting of nocturnal species in desert or semi desert areas by driving slowly along the roads, picking up the snakes and lizards which are crossing, as they are disclosed by the headlights of the car. This scheme has now been so thoroughly tried out, and its effect on our knowledge of southwestern reptiles has been so considerable, that a description of the practice and some of its results should be of interest to those who may find an opportunity to experiment in desert territories where it has not yet been tried.

Excerpt from The Story of Reptile Life Among the higher animals at least, probably none are so generally and so universally disliked and mistrusted as the Reptiles. Tradition has done much to inculcate this antipathy; and the natural dread inspired by such as the snakes, has provided justification for its perpetuation. If, however, it be true that "a fellow feeling makes us wondrous kind," then, surely, many of those who now regard the Reptiles as nature's outlaws, should be induced to reconsider their harsh verdict; since, as it is the purpose of this little book to show, like ourselves, these creatures are also called upon to battle with nature for a hold on life. In the preparation of these pages I have received much kindly help from Dr A. Smith Woodward, F.R.S., of the British Museum of Natural History; and from Mr G. A. Boulenger, F.R.S., also of the Museum. For the most valuable assistance which they have given me I am grateful. Those who may wish to pursue their enquiries into the story of Reptile Life yet further, will find a mine of information in Dr A. Smith Woodward's "Palæontology of Vertebrates," and Dr Gadow's volume on "Reptiles" in the Cambridge Natural History.
