PRESS OPINIONS. 



Spectator. — " Mr. Douglas Dewar' s book is excellent. ... A feature of the 

 book is the photographs of birds by Captain Fayrer. They are most remark- 

 able, and quite unlike the usual wretched snapshots and blurred reproductions 

 with which too many naturalists' books are nowadays illustrated." 



Standard. — " The East has ever been a place of wonderment, but the writer 

 of ' Bombay Ducks ' brings before Western eyes a new set of pictures. . . . 

 The book is entertaining, even to a reader who is not a naturalist first and a 

 reader afterwards. . . . The illustrations cannot be too highly praised." 



Daily News. — " This new and sumptuous book. ... Mr. Dewar gives us a 

 charming introduction to a great many interesting birds." 



Pall Mall Gazette.— '^ Most entertaining dissertations on the tricks and 

 manners of many birds and beasts in India." 



Graphic. — " The book is written in a most readable style, light and easy, yet 

 full of information, and not overburdened with scientific words and phrases. 

 . . . The habits of the different birds are fully described, often in a very 

 amusing and interesting manner."
