From the PREFACE. No attempt, it seems almost useless to say, can be made in this little book to do more than attract the attention of its readers to the subject of which it treats and awaken their interest in it. Anything that excites curiosity and leads to the study of the home life and what may perhaps be called human traits in the lower animals, must necessarily be of use both in supplying means of wholesome, never-failing entertainment for the intellectual faculties, engaging and broadening our sympathies, and also in suggesting the standpoint that must be taken in rightly estimating either the capabilities or the limitations of any member of the greater brotherhood that includes not mankind only, but every living creature. As the life of an animal is more or less centered in the exercise of parental solicitude for its young, the most perfect exhibition of its power to adapt means to a desired end may in a like degree be measured by the character of the home it provides for them and the manner in which it ministers to their comfort and protection. Judged by this standard, it is instructive to note the parallelisms and contrasts between the efforts of man unaided by the cumulative knowledge called science and those of the lower animals in building their habitations, and to observe the almost invariably superior results obtained through the greater constructive ability of the latter. This comparison has not, so far as the author knows, been elsewhere suggested, although several works have been written upon the architecture of insects and other animals. Zoology is a progressive science, and even in so small a volume as the present one a number of recent discoveries in natural history, not to be found else- where in similar works are noticed. There is, indeed, more to be told than many volumes could contain, and still more to learn than has yet been recorded in regard to the house-building and housekeeping of the children of Nature ; and the author is not without hope that even the incomplete and unambitious sketches here given may incite some active young brain to busy itself with the subject. Children are among the best observers in the world. Their keen eyes and the direct and sympathetic deductions they make from what they see sometimes solve problems that puzzle their elders. No preparation or special apparatus is necessary to study the manners and customs of tiny tribes of which, though they fill our fields and forests and are always with us, we really know so little. Nothing but the leisure which at- tends so few of us older folks, and of interest in the work and love for it, which, I fear, still fewer possess, is required to make perhaps important discoveries, correct serious errors, or confirm observations already made in the field for investigation to be found in comparing the homes and habits of birds and beasts with those of human beings.
