This is a practical and well-planned little guide to what is 

 becoming more in vogue every day — namely, the application 

 of the camera to the study of ornithology. The author deals 

 in turn with the apparatus necessary, nest photography, 

 photographing young birds, and the various methods of 

 photographing adult birds, ?*. ^., the " stalking,^' "conceal- 

 ment,''' &c. He gives clear instructions on exposure and 

 other important details, and we strongly recommend the 

 l)ook, not only to bird photographers and would-be photo- 

 grapherSj but to all lovers of field ornithology. 



The writer knows from experience the difficulties and 

 trials attendant upon bird photography, as he also knows 

 the pleasure and excitement of the " sport.'' The book is 

 illustrated by 16 full-page photographic plates. — A.K. H.
