32 BRITISH BIRDS, 



then follows on colour and cinematograph-photography, while 

 the last chapter deals with photographing birds in captivity. 

 With regard to this subject, we most heartily endorse what 

 the author says : if well taken for a specific purpose and honestly 

 used, these photographs are often of great use and value, 

 but nothing can be more dishonest or unscientific than to 

 attempt to jDass off such studies as those of genuine wild birds. 



It will be seen from the above outline that the general plan 

 of the book covers the whole range of bird-photography, and 

 while experienced w^orkers will find much to interest them, 

 even if they find no new " tips," the beginner will do w^ell 

 to study every page. 



The plates are carefully chosen to illustrate various points 

 in the text, and are uniformly good and well reproduced.
