Well, I just can’t resist any longer... May I please be DPL here?

So many people that I love working with are gathering here, and that makes it all the better!!

Can I have all from The Cuscuses (whatever animal is that ) to the end? Sections 64 to 67.

Thanks, MaryAnn, section assigned. Hope your cat doesn't have to deal with those though.

Yes, please. Thanks, Rosebud. Adding you now!

Yes, thanks for claiming. I had no idea what cuscuses were myself

[Kikisaulite]

I had to find out about those cuscuses... so there is section 64, duration 21:02

By the way, the author of this book has a very nice writing style - easy to read, lively and interesting. Definitely not one of those science books that make you shudder at every page-long sentence.

Thanks, Kristine! Yes, I know, I was pleasantly surprised myself. I am even considering putting the second volume up for reading when this one is done.

Sure, sections assigned, thanks!

Leni, in the first post the instructions for filename and the example don't quite match up. I'm thinking you'll want to correct that before more files come in. (The '1' after livinganimals.)

Thanks,

Thanks, Rosebud! I just fixed it.

I'm a little confused on how to introduce the recording of Section 2

I was going to proceed as follows:
"The living animals of the world, Volume 1: Mammals,
by Charles Lewis Cornish, editor
Chapter 1 Apes, Monkeys, & lemurs.
Section 2: The Gorilla, The orang-utan, & The Gibbon.

The Gorilla etc as per the book
Is this OK or would you preferr something else?

I also wasn't sure about the intro. So I only said "The octodonts" as this is the beginning of my chapter in the book, even though in the MW the title is much longer. I hope that was correct.

Here is the section on bunny's larger family. The rabbit gets only a few lines as an afterthought as it is apparently "too well known" what a let-down.

Recording time: 10:13 min.

as promised, I will take the section on foxes next then (Section 22)
