  on

  of 
  tlie 
  Peninsula 
  and 
  on 
  other 
  eognate 
  

   subjects. 
  Perliaps 
  we 
  may 
  fairly 
  say 
  that 
  the 
  Bustanls, 
  the 
  

   Flamingoes, 
  and 
  the 
  Kaptores 
  of 
  Spain 
  are 
  the 
  heroes 
  of 
  the 
  

   book, 
  although 
  the 
  four-footed 
  animals 
  of 
  the 
  sierras 
  and 
  

   marismas 
  have 
  their 
  shaiv 
  of 
  attention. 
  Nor 
  are 
  the 
  smaller 
  

   Passerines 
  overlooked, 
  although, 
  as 
  we 
  are 
  informed, 
  the 
  work 
  

   is 
  planned 
  essentially 
  from 
  the 
  view 
  of 
  the 
  ''

   uatnralist."
