BOMBAY DUCKS : An account of some of the everyday 

 Birds and Beasts found in a naturalist's El Dorado. By Douglas 

 Devvar, F.Z.S., I.C.S. With Numerous Illustrations from Photo- 

 graphs of Living Birds by Captain F. D. S. Fayrer, I. M.S. 



Spectator. — " Mr. Douglas Dewar's book is excellent. ... A feature of the 

 book is the photographs of birds by Captain Fayrer. They are most remarkable, 

 and quite unlike the usual wretched snapshot and blurred reproductions with 

 which too many naturalists' books are nowadays illustrated." 



Standard. — " The East has ever been a place of wonderment, but the writer 

 of ' Bombay Ducks " brings before Western eyes a new set of pictures. . . . The 

 book is entertaining, even to the reader who is not a naturalist first and a reader 

 afterwards, . . . The illustrations cannot be too highly praised." 



Mr. Dewar gives us a 



Daily News. — "This new and sumptuous book. . . . 

 charming introduction to a great many interesting birds.' 



Pall Mall Gazette. — "Most entertaining dissertations on the tricks and 

 manners of many birds and beasts in India." 



Graphic. — " The book is written in a most readable style, light and easy, yet 

 full of information, and not overburdened with scientific words and phrases. . . . 

 The habits of the different birds are fully described, often in a very amusing and 

 Interesting manner."
