Excerpt from Animals at Home In writing these stories for children great pains have been taken to make the subject-matter correct. The author has gone only to the most reliable sources for information and used the descriptions of eyewitnesses for many of the incidents woven into the stories. For facts referring to the American bison, the fur seal, the barn owl, the blue jay, etc., the government publications have been used, for the account of the polar bears the narratives of Peary, Nansen, and other Arctic explorers have been consulted, the story of the bald eagles is founded upon an article by Captain Charles Bendire in the Smithsonian Report, 1892, for that of the cuckoo the book of Alexander H. Japp, LL.D., Called "Our Common Cuckoo, " was made use of, and for details in other bird stories the works of Audubon, F. Chapman, Brehm, Brewer, Baird, Coues, and Shriner have been examined.
