"What Bird is That?" by Frank M. Chap- 

 man. D. Appleton & Company, New 

 York City, $1.25 net. 

 A new kind of bird book by a well 

 known authority, this not only shows 

 the color and chief markings of each bird 

 but also shows whether a bird is large or 

 small. Moreover, by means of group pic- 

 tures, it shows all the birds arranged ac- 

 cording to season. With these two features 

 to aid one, the identification of the various 

 birds is easy, even for beginners. The 

 author, who is Curator of Birds in the 

 American Museum of Natural History, 

 has given us in this work a complete guide 

 to every land bird east of the Rocky Moun- 

 tains some three hundred species in all, 

 and they are all pictured. The text covers 

 most interestingly the distinguishing marks, 

 the range, nests, eggs and song of each bird, 



and the localities where and seasons when 

 it may be found. Every person who has 

 ever wanted to know the birds should have 

 this book as it is the simplest and most 

 authoritative work to be had. It is ex- 

 tremely interesting and will hold the atten- 

 tion of the bird lover from cover to cover.

"Cornell Forester." Dressed in a striking 

 campfire cover, the "Cornell Forester," 

 Vol I, June, 1920, is interesting from 

 beginning to end. 



Put out annually by the Cornell Foresters, 

 this publication has become an institution, 

 and this particular issue, dedicated as an 

 appreciation to Professor Ralph S. Hosmer, 

 reflects honor on its editorial staff, and the 

 Club generally responsible for it. With 

 articles from the pen of W. B. Greeley, re- 

 cently appointed Chief Forester of the 

 United. States ; George D. Pratt, Conserva- 

 tion Commissioner of New York, and many 

 of the well known teachers of forestry at 

 the leading universities of the country, in- 

 terspersed with bits of characteristic verse 

 and news notes, there is not a dull moment 

 all the way through. The "Cornell For- 



"The United States Forest Policy," by 

 John Ise. Yale University Press, New 

 Haven, Conn., $5.00. 



This is one of the important books 

 of the year to the profession and to the 

 people at large, as it is a non-technical 

 treatment of the vital topftt^f, forestry. It 

 discusses the development of an interest in 

 forest conservation, the legislation dealing 

 with the forests, and the many unwise laws 

 under which forest lands have been stolen 

 or the forests destroyed. Several chapters 

 are devoted to the results of our forest 

 policy in the past and the final chapter 

 gives suggestions for a wiser policy in the 

 future. 



"American Forestry and the Geographic 

 magazine are the best publications in the 

 country. A near neighbor in our small 

 community takes them both and we recipro- 

 cate with our reading matter. Otherwise 

 I should subscribe," says J. F. Scott, in a 

 recent letter to the editor.
