and Mr. Gurney is to be congratulated upon having compressed his

extensive subject-matter into some 230 pages. After the Monotonous

publication of book after book upon British Birds, each one little more

read Mr. Gurney's work, and we most cordially recommend it to

members of our Society. It is well produced in every way, and is

illustrated with maps and photographs as well as with the copies of

old engravings above referred to.
