spectator.— "■Th^ present book is by Mr. Douglas Dewar, a charming 

 writer, whose earlier books on birds we have had the pleasure of recommend- 

 ing. The book is most carefully compiled, and much ingenuity is displayed in 

 framing this artificial analysis." 



Pall Mall Gametic.— "This practical and useful work. Familiarity with 

 these pages would enable the average man in a few weeks to know all the birds 

 he meets in an Indian station," 



Athenepum. — "Mr. Dewar is a careful guide, already known as a careful 

 observer and entertaining chronicler of the ways of Indian birds." 



Indian Field. — " We can thoroughly recommend this book to all not versed 

 in ornithology and who wish to know our birds without having to kill them."

standard.— ^^ This book, dealing with the courting of birds, how they fight 

 and mimic, and moult and blush, is one of the most fascinating we have read 

 for some time. His book will prove as interesting to the general reader as to 

 the enthusiastic naturalist." 



Morning Post.— " The book consists of a number of papers— all are delight- 

 fully readable. A very interesting and delightful book. The style is always 

 clear and free from technicalities; this volume will certainly prove as entertain- 

 ing to the general reader as it is interesting to the naturalist." 



Globe. — "The pleasantest of reading — produced most charmingly. The 

 book is illustrated with numbers of beautiful photographs showing bird and 

 beast life with wonderful truth and charm. We must congratulate Mr. Finn

 a long time."
