GENERAL LITERATURE. 



Coues, Dr. Elliott, 1890 Key to North American Birds. Very fully illustrated. 

 This work is very complete and admirable, an excellent manual in my judgment, for 

 either the beginner or advanced student. The complete anatomy, full descriptions, 

 excellent artificial key, and admirable illustrations, make it indispensable to every 

 student of ornithology. The nomenclature and arrangement are not the latest, but an 

 appendix corrects this, in a manner that is very convenient and desirable. Price $7.50. 

 Estes & Lauriat, Boston. Mass. 



Ridgway, Robert, 1889 Manual of North American Birds. This is simply a 

 manual, and is very excellent for one who wishes simply to study systematic ornithol 

 ogy. The nomenclature and arrangement are recent. Price $7.50. J. B. Lippencott, 

 Philadelphia, Pa. 



Jordan, Dr. David Starr, 1888 Manual of the Vertebrates of the Northern United 

 States. This is very brief, but valuable to every zoologist. This succinct key helps us 

 to identify all vertebrate animals, from fish to mammals, inclusive. It is very satisfac- 

 tory, considering its size. All three of the above works refer more or less to Michigan 

 birds. Price $2.50. Jasen McClurg & Co., Chicago, 111. 



Davie, Oliver. 1889 Nests and Eggs of North American Birds. A few illustrations. 

 This work is very full and accurate, and very valuable to one wishing to study the 

 nesting habits of birds. There are many references to Michigan species. Price $1.75. 

 Hann & Adair, Columbus, Ohio. 



Standard Natural History of the United States, Vol. IV. This large work is almost, 

 indispensable to. the working naturalist. It is to be regretted that its size and cost 

 place it beyond the reach of many. It is fully illustrated and embraces the ornithology 

 of the whole world. It also treats of all other classes of animals, and is very complete. 

 S. E. Cassino & Co., Boston, Mass. 



The Auk. A very excellent monthly magazine, devoted to ornithology; the organ 

 of the American Ornithologists' Union and the successor to the Bulletin of the Nuttali 

 Ornithological Club. Its editors and contributors are among the ablest ornithologists 

 in the country or the world. The magazine is a credit to our science and literature. 

 Price S3 00 a year. L. S. Foster, 35 Pine St.. New York City. 



The Ornithologist and Oologist. This is a much less pretentious journal than the 

 'Auk, but is very interesting and valuable to the student of birds. Like the last men- 

 tioned, this contains much regarding our Michigan birds. It is especially valuable to 

 the young ornithologist. Price $1.00. Frank Blake Webster Co., Hyde Park, Mass.
