Excerpt from Three Kingdoms: A Handbook of the Agassiz Association This book is the child of necessity, and was made to serve instead of a personal reply to the inquiries concerning the Agassiz Association, which came more rapidly than pen could answer them. For about two years a list of all such questions was carefully kept, and then the answers were written here as concisely and accurately as possible. As the Association has grown the questions have increased in number and scope, so that with each new edition comes the necessity for an enlargement and revision of the book. The author has been so greatly assisted in its preparation and revision that he is now little more than its grateful editor, who begs to return his thanks to those whose kindness has contributed so essentially to the value of the book. Professor Hyatt has honored our work to the verge of flattery in his whole-hearted introduction. To Professors W. W. Bailey, of Providence, R. I.; T. H. McBride, of Iowa City, la., and William B Wcrthner, of Dayton, O., our readers are indebted for the valuable suggestions in botanical work. Professor W. O. Crosby has revised the chapter on the study of minerals. The Manhattan Chapter of the Agassiz Association has given assistance with regard to taxidermy. The List of Books could not have been properly prepared but for the co-operation of Professors McBride, Crosby, Stokes and Clarke; Geo. Bird Grinnell, Ph.D.; S. P. Sharpies, State Assayer; Hilborne T. Cresson, and, particularly, Mr. O. Bjerregaard, of the Astor Library, and Dr. W. H. Seaman, who have diligently revised the entire list.
