" Scientific Phraseology has been, as far as possible, carefully avoided. 

 . . . Mr. Elliot's condensed, well- written, and thoroughly trustworthy 

 biographies will prove most welcome," etc.

 lated on the appearance and character of this volume. . . It is especially 

 admirable for its simplicity and directness and for the very high quality of 

 its many illustrations."

 Mr. Edwin Sheppard are soft and delicate in outline ; they convey an accu- 

 rate impression of the species represented."

 the Curator of Zoology in the Field Columbian Museum, bears the stamp
