WORKS BY THE SAME AUTHOR. 



ANNALS OF BIRD LIFE: 



A Year-Book of British Ornithology. 

 Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d. 



" A lover of birds could not do better than consult its pages whenever 

 he wishes for information." Gardeners' Chronicle. 



" There is a great deal of curious bird-lore in this well-written book, 

 and the author is an enthusiast who scouts the idea that birds lead what 

 he terms a ' prosaic, automatic ' existence ; and it is amusing to find him 

 claiming ' high mental qualities ' for his feathered friends. There is a good 

 index in the volume, and a calendar for each of the seasons, which shows 

 when the birds arrive, build their nests, and take their departure. "- 

 Speaker. 



" Brightly written, and full of information." Academy.

 he has always something fresh and bright to say." Globe. 



"One of the pleasantest of Mr. Dixon's many volumes on wild life."

" Eminently a book to be enjoyed." Graphic. 



"Has much that is fresh to tell us of the ways and habits of birds, 

 and it is all told in a very charming way." Guardian. 



" These essays are very different from the ordinary trite writing on 

 British rural life." Academy.

 contribute in no small degree to the pleasure with which his book will be 

 read." Morning Post.
