Description: The volume of Reverend Bingley's "Authentic Anecdotes" that covers amphibious animals, fishes, and insects, organized by Linnaean classification with indices of common and Latin names. The book describes the physical features used to define "animal tribes" and, within each entry, includes a wide range of accounts of how each species behaves, from a story about a snake hypnotizing squirrels to run into its jaws to detailed, anthropomorphized accounts of two anemones in an aquarium struggling over a piece of fish.
