Book excerpt: This book is the direct result of what, at the time of its occurrence, seemed to be an unimportant incident in the course of my scientific work-- the presentation of a pair of dancing mice to the Harvard Psychological Laboratory. My interest in the peculiarities of behavior which the creatures exhibited, as I watched them casually from day to day, soon became experiment-impelling, and almost before I realized it, I was in the midst of an investigation of their senses and intelligence.
