- W4205328395 abstract "IN a series of pleasantly written and beautifully illustrated articles, a large proportion of which have previously appeared in various serials, such as the Spectator, Country Life, and the Badminton Magazine, Mr. Cornish introduces his readers to a number of interesting facts connected more or less intimately with the valley of the Thames and its tributaries. Indeed, if we may judge by a statement made in the preface, and the evidence afforded by the text itself, few Englishmen can be better acquainted, both from the natural history and the sporting point of view, with the basin of the Thames than the author. In the first chapter we are introduced to the Thames at Sinodun Hill, in the next the manner in which the great river receives its supply of water is discussed, while the shells, plants and insects of the Thames form the subject of the next three chapters. Perhaps the author is a little too much dominated with the idea of the great antiquity of fresh water and all its belongings, but this is a small point; and his notes on the variation of colour presented by the Thames Neritina, and the remarkable manner in which these empty shells collect in vast quantities in certain parts of the river-bed are of considerable interest. Indeed, it would be well worth while for some investigator to turn his attention to the manner in which these accumulations of shells are brought together. Several chapters are devoted to fish and fishing, the chub coming in for a special share of attention, and eel-traps being fully described. The two chapters on Wittenham Wood are specially interesting, as showing the numbers of wild mammals to be met with a few years ago in the Thames valley. From the former of these chapters we select, as a sample of the illustrations of the volume, the exquisite photograph of a pair of otters herewith reproduced." @default.
