CHARLES DIXON'S WORKS. 



THE NESTS AND EGGS OF NON-INDIGENOUS 

 BRITISH BIRDS. 



! Crown Svo. 



JOTTINGS ABOUT BIRDS. 



With Coloured Frontispiece by J. Smit. Crown Svo, 6s. 



The Times says :^" A very pleasant series of papers on bird life and bird distribution by 

 the well-known author of 'The Migration of Eiids' and other works on ornithology. Mr. 

 Dixon's observation is close and his knowledge of birds is accurate and extensive. In one 

 paper he makes good fun of the mistakes which artists often make in depicting birds ; in another 

 he discusses the cuckoo and its habits ; in another he propounds a theory of the purely amatory 

 origin and character of the song of birds ; while papers on the Bass Rock and on St. Kildaare 

 full of charming description. All lovers of birds will read the book with delight." 



The Scotsman says:—" Is pleasantly discursive, teems with useful and interesting inform- 

 ation, and forms agreeable reading, whether for the initiated ornithologist, or for the reader 

 who, without much special knowledge, has a genuine love for the woodlands and their 

 feathered popul.ition. ... In this volume Mr. Dixon takes us on a charming tour to 

 Algeria, and gives the best account yet available to English readers of the birds of that 

 country. ... A very interesting book." 



THE NESTS AND EGGS OF BRITISH BIRDS: 



WHEN AM) WHERE TO FIND TIIEM, 

 Being a Handbook to the Oology of the British Islands. 



Crown Svo, 6s, 



Natural Science says :— " Like all Mr. Dixon's productions, the work is well and plea.santly 

 written, and the amateur naturalist, as well as every young person interested in this fasci- 

 nating study, cannot do better th.an forthwith provide him- or herself with a copy .... fully 

 de erves all the success we can wish it." 



The Speaker says :— " Mr. Charles Dixon has written an admirable manual— the outcome 

 of the personal observation and patient reseaich of many years spent amid rural surroundings. 

 .... We know of no other book of similar compass which gives more explicit information 



concerning the habitat of British birds, their breeding habits, &c Everywhere the 



bonk displays close acquaintance with the characteristics of wild life in the woods and 

 hedgerows." 



THE GAME BIRDS AND WILD FOWLS 



OF THE BRITISH ISLANDS. 



Being a Handbook for the Naturalist and Sportsman. 



Illustrated by A. T. Elwes. Demy Svo, I'is. 



The Times says :—" All sportsmen and naturalists and all who love birds, even^ if they do 

 not claim to be naturalists, and do not even desire to be sportsmen, will welcome Mr. Charles 

 Dixon's elaborate and comprehensive work on ' The Game Birds and \\ ild Fowl of the British 

 Islands.' Mr. Dixon is the author of the work on ' The Migration of Birds,' which we noticed 

 not long ago, and of many other hooks relating to bird-life and the study of rural nature. Mr 

 Dixon's present work is full of interest for the bird-lover, and full of information for the 

 sportsman, besides being copious and exact from the purely scientific point of view." 



The Daily Telegraph says :— " A Valuable work. . . . The information which is given in the 

 case of each family of birds is comprehensive ; it includes a description of habits and appear- 

 ance, which IS often supplemented by excellent illustrations in black and white, an account of 

 Its geographical distribution, lines of migration, and manner of building its nest. Where 

 personal experience has fallen short, the author has gone to the highest andlatest authorities ■ 

 and the result is a book which will be of great assistance to both the classes for whom it is 

 intended to cater."
