Excerpt from Toilers in the Sea T may as well be confessed at once that the first suggestion of this volume was derived from a perusal of the Rev. J. G. Wood's entertaining Homes without Hands, strengthened by the ob servation that he had left the Homes included herein practically unnoticed, and that therefore the subject was still open for treatment. In some respects the animals are not so attractive, or interest ing, as those with which the above-named volume is illustrated, but the homes are not less remarkable, and a brief summary of their structure and archi tecture, with a few details of the builders, may not be less acceptable to lovers of nature.
