THE NATION 



"Scientific Phraseology has been, as far as possible, carefully avoided. 

 . . . Mr. Elliot's condensed, well- written, and thoroughly trustworthy 

 biographies will prove most welcome," etc. 



FOREST AND STREAM 



"Naturalists, sportsmen, and bird-lovers generally are to be congratu- 

 lated on the appearance and character of this volume. . . It is especially 

 admirable for its simplicity and directness and for the very high quality of 

 its many illustrations." 



LONDON FIELD 



" Mr. Elliot is to be congratulated upon his artist. The illustrations by 

 Mr. Edwin Sheppard are soft and delicate in outline ; they convey an accu- 

 rate impression of the species represented." 



THE DIAL, CHICAGO 



" Any treatise on ornithology coming from the hand of Professor Elliot, 

 the Curator of Zoology in the Field Columbian Museum, bears the stamp 

 of authority." 



COMMERCIAL ADVERTISER 



"One of the most interesting and valuable books of its kind that have 

 been written for some time."
