Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Chautauqua The material in this little book is the outgrowth of ten years' natural history study and teaching in the Chautauqua region. The material is assembled in this form with the hope that it may be useful to the increasing number of nature-stu dents who are actively interested in the rich and beautiful natural background of Chautauqua. The subject-matter is not designed to take the place of that found in the standard reference books; it is suggestive rather than scientifically exhaustive. In the various lists, for example, only the common and fairly common forms are usu ally included; rare and adventitious species, although often of extreme scientific interest, are not of particular significance to the beginner in natural history.
