Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Bailey of the United States 

 Biological Survey have collaborated to produce their useful 

 and pleasant account of the Mammals and Birds of Glacier 

 National Park. This lies in north-western Montana along 

 the main range of the Hocky Mountains from the Canadian 

 boundary-line south to the Great Northern Transcontinental 

 Railway. Although the highest peaks of this portion of the 

 range are little above 10,000 feet, the country is exceedingly 

 rugged and rough and the low elevation of the timber-line 

 gives it the appearance of a more lofty range. 



In order to gather material for this report Mrs. Bailey 

 spent the two months of July and August 1917 in the Park, 

 and a good general idea of the breeding birds of the region 

 was obtained ; with this is incorporated additional material 

 derived from the notes of Mr. G. B. Grinnell, Mr. A. H. 

 Higginson, and other visitors to this romantic region. 

 Over 170 species are enumerated, with notes on their 

 rarity or otherwise, their migrations, and other observa- 

 tions and field-notes ; these are accompanied by a number 

 of figures and plates, many derived from Mrs. Bailey's well- 

 known 'Handbook of the Birds of Western North America '; 

 others from photographs by Messrs. Vernon Bailey, E. R. 

 Warren, R. B. Rockwell, and drawings by Major Allan 

 Brooks and Mr. Fuertes.
