NATURE says: "They have set themselves the task of portraying 

 Marsh-Birds in positions and attitudes which v^^ill render the pictures of real 

 service to the scientific ornithologist ; and we venture to think that the 

 verdict of their readers will be a pronouncement of unqualified success in 

 this respect. The book does not, however, depend entirely on its 

 illustrations. . . . the reader will find much of interest in the brightly 

 written biographies which accompany the text."
