The studies upon which this volume are based were largely 

 conducted on Gardiner's Island, where tliis regal bird is not only 

 a familiar object but unwary as well. The value of the studies 

 is greatly enhanced by the admirable half-tone prints accompany- 

 ing, and their manner of arrangement. Studies of this sort are 

 needed for practically all of our birds. We welcome it as a con- 

 tribution to our knowledge of one of our most interesting birds of 

 prey. l. j.
