" As a comprehensive work of reference and an aid to the study of bird life in this 

 country it easily holds the first place at the present time."—" Times," Dec. 1913. 

 " Really good work." — "Zoologist," Dec. 1913. 



"A vast amount of most interesting and valuable information has been gathered 

 together from widely scattered and often very inaccessible sources. This is carried 

 out in a manner deserving all praise, the more so that a reference is always given to 

 the publication from which the information is gleaned." — " Nature," Sept. 1913. 



" Not only impresses one at sight by the great beauty of the numerous coloured 

 plates, but also repays attentive reading by the originality with which many of the 

 chapters are written and the general truthfulness to nature that is shown in all."— 

 '■ Irish Naturalist," Sept. 1911.
