This work forms a necessary complement to the " Birds of Europe," and is 

 uniform in size with it. The io6 coloured plates contain accurate figures of 

 nearly 2,000 eggs. The Plates have all been executed by the three-colour photo- 

 graphic process direct from the eggs without the intervention of an artist, thereby 

 securing the utmost exactness in reproduction of markings, etc. In addition to 

 the coloured figures of eggs a large number of illustrations of the nests and eggs 

 in situ are given in the text. 



Mr. Dresser had the practical assistance in the preparation of the work of 

 the Rev. F. C. R. Jourdain, the late Prof. Newton, and Howard Saunders, Mr. 

 A. H. Evans, Mr. S. A. Buturlin, and Mr. F. VV. Waterhouse.
