JUST OUT. 



An entirely new edition of Ridgeway's Man- 

 ual. This new edition of the Manual has 

 been carefully revised up to the close of 1895, 

 and includes the characters of one hundred 

 species and six genera which have been add- 

 ed tn the North American bird fauna since 

 18S7. Various errors in the tirst edition have 

 been corrected, several of the analytical keys 

 having been entirely rewritten. Explicit di- 

 rections for the use of these keys, omitted in 

 the first edition, are given, and to further fa- 

 cilitate the identification of specimens, all the 

 additional matter included in the Appendix is 

 arranged in consecutive numbered para- 

 graphs which correspond with marginal ref- 

 erence numbers in the body of the work, 

 showing at a glance that it the specimens in 

 hand cannot be identified from the main text, 

 there is a further chance of doing so by re- 

 ferring to the proper paragraph in the Appen- 

 dix. It can be had in Library edition Royal 

 8vo. extra cloth gilt or Sportmens' edition, 

 Leather, prepaid for $7.50. W. F. WEBB,
