collecting, and is consequently well qualified to give us an 

 account of the various sports pursued there, as well as of the 

 Mammals, Birds, and Fishes to be met with in what is still, 

 to a great extent, a veritable wilderness. This he has done 

 in the present nicely printed and well illustrated volume. 

 Commencing with the Seminole Indians and their manners 

 and customs, he proceeds to the ^'panther" {i.e. puma), 

 black bear, deer, alligators, and turkeys of the State ; the 

 hunting-grounds are then discussed generally, and a chapter 

 is devoted to a systematic list of the Mammals. The second 

 half of the volume is occupied by a Key to the Water- 

 birds of Florida, being those most likely to engage the 

 sportsman's attention, followed by a systematic list of these 

 according to the nomenclature and classification of the 

 A. O. U. ; concise descriptions and notes on the range and 

 occurrence in Florida being appended to each species. We 

 have no doubt that this will serve as a very useful handbook 

 for the numerous winter visitors to the Gulf State. For the 

 benefit of the scientific worker the Key is issued separately 

 in limp covers : an excellent arrangement.
