... a new volume in Natural Science Libr By MELVILLE BELL GROSVENOR President and Editor, National Geographic Society OF ALL THE ANIMALS, which is the smartest? Which can run the fastest? What mammal is the commonest, or the rarest? Just what is a mammal, anyway? Such questions pop at parents daily from their youngsters. But, says a man who has answered thousands of posers about animals, these queries are also the most frequently asked by businessmen, teachers, farmers, out doorsmen, crossword-puzzle addicts, and even scientists. The expert is Dr. A. Remington Kellogg, distinguished mammalogist and Di rector of the U. S. National Museum of the Smithsonian Institution. Curiosity about animals is endless and touches people of all ages and in all walks of life. I can remember begging my father to read "just one more" wildlife story before bedtime. Children before me-and since have done the same, eager in a thirst for knowledge. New Book Gives the Answers Now comes a new book to satisfy that need. It is with great pride that I announce publi cation of the latest volume in The Society's Natural Science Library. Wild Animals of North America is a mag nificent reference work, one that will answer almost any question you or your children can ask about North American mammals. It is also a delightful storybook for bedtime read ing; in anecdotes and eyewitness tales it brings the wonderful world of animal life into your home. Alaska brown bears feast on red, or sockeye, salmon on the colorful jacket of The Society's animal book. Staff artist Walter Weber found this mother and her cubs fishing for their lunch near Bristol Bay, on the Alaska Peninsula.
