Spanish-R oman writer of the first century A. D., said that for successful farming three things are essential: knowl edge, capital and love for the calling. This statement is just as true today as it was when written 1900 years ago by this early writer onE uropean agriculture. Every man who loves the calling and has an ambition to become a successful farmer should understand that no two of these essentials are sufficient, but that all three are necessary. Although this is so simple as to be almost axiomatic, it is indeed surprising how few people believe a knowledge of farming is really essential to success.

Thus it has been found possible to combine much biographical interest with sketches of his most important works. Like other biographers of Darwin, I am much indebted toM r. Woodall svaluable memoir, contributed to the Transactions of theS hropshire Archaeological Society. But original authorities have been consulted throughout, and the first editions of Darwin sbooks quoted, unless the contrary is explicitly stated. I am greatly obliged toM essrs. F. Darwin and G. J. Romanes for kindly permitting me to quote fromM r. Darwin sletters toM r. Romanes. I must also express my thanks to my friends, Mr. Romanes and Prof. DA rcy W. Thompson, for doing me the great service of looking over the proof-sheets of this book.

Wyoming is the geological wonderland of the world. Within the confines of the big westernS tate are the most extensive and fertile fossil fields known. I ts sagebrush plains are, indeed, one vast, prehistoric burying ground; andS cience has summoned them to give up their dead. Wyoming is the resting place of the petrified bones of the largest land animals that ever lived. After already bequeathing to geological science the rarest of fossil treasures, theS tate is again writing a strange chapter in the worlds geological history by unearthing the petrified bones of the most colossal animal ever taken from the earths strata. This stone monster was a dweller in the Jurassic age aD inosaur, measuring nearly 130 feet in length, and being perhaps thirty-five feet in height at the hips and twenty-five feet at the shoulders an animal so terrible in size that its petrified skeleton alone is believed to weigh more than 40,000 pounds. To the geological department of theW yoming State University is due the credit of this wonderful discovery. Assistant W. H. Reed, of theD epartment of Geology, made 3V flit.
