1876. Thompson, [J.] M.— Continued. 



These spirited woodcuts also accompanied a series of brief articles on game- 

 birds (anonymous) in Appleton's Almanac for 1869. This annual, published 

 in small 4to, lor 18ti9, 1870, and 1871, contained many woodcuts of birds and much 

 pleasant descriptive matter, having, however, little ornithological interest, 

 although generally accurate.

The typography of the title difl'ers in the two vols. Though announced in two 

 vols., the second vol. only carries the subject through the land-birds, and another 

 is expected. In spite of the literary execution, these "Life-Histories" are 

 an acceptable contribution, being especially full and important on the subject 

 of the food of the birds, inventories of the contents of the stomach being given 

 in most cases.
