"The appearance of a general work on birds by an ornithologist of 

 the long experience of Professor Newton may well be regarded as mark- 

 ing an epoch in the science of which it treats. It is the best book of 

 its kind which has yet appeared." — Natural Science. 



" Will probably be the most useful and accurate compendium of the 

 subject in any language." — Nature Notes. 



" The work was much wanted, and contains quite enough to make it 

 of very high value." — Land and Water. 



" Promises to prove an extremely useful work." — Saturday Review. 



" Professor Newton has produced the magnum opus of his life, and 

 when completed the work will not only be a lasting monument of his 

 great researches and close ornithological observations, but an invaluable 

 and safe guide for all students of one of the most delightful branches of 

 human investigation. " — Yorkslm-e Post.
