Rockies are a few of the many in this remarkable book that get a 

 hold on one, intense, helpfiil and lasting. 



The last chapter, "Impressions of English Bird-Life," is per- 

 haps quite as inspiring as the parts relating to this continent. It is 

 particularly valuable as showing how an experienced American 

 ornithologist, not only scientific but appreciative, right in the glow 

 of his enthusiastic study of the birds of his own country, regards the 

 Nightingale, the Skylark and other characteristic species of Old 

 England. 



All in all, this is one of the most noteworthy ornithological pub- 

 lications in recent years. And it is a book for more than the bird 

 student. To almost an equal degree it is for the photographer and 

 the general naturalist as well; while for all other readers it will not 

 only have a constant charm as a work beautifully done, but cannot 

 fail to create an increased interest in out-of-door life and things.

NoTEvS FROM Orand Manan, N. B. — The Duck Hawks are 

 beginning to think about their home affairs, as they have come to 

 their old locality, and have been there about a month. 



There have been the most Redpolls wintering here this winter 



that I have ever known. There was a flock of about a hundred 



under the kitchen window late this afternoon. I put out hay seed 



in the yard, and they came nearly every day. They all seem to be 



the common form.

Look for Bohemian Waxwings. — If the attention of our 



members could be called to the desirability of being promptly on 



the lookout for the Bohemian Waxwings it seems likely that we 



might be able to obtain several more records before they pass north 



again, which will be in a couple of weeks now.
