In “The Boobys of the Revillegigedo Islands,” Mr. A. W. Anthony tells

with them on his expeditions into Mexican waters. Six wonder- 
fully interesting photographs picture to us the curious birds as they 
are, alive, on these Pacific islands. Mr. George G. Cantwell has 
resisted the gold excitement long enough to send THE OspPREy 
some excellent photographs of Alaskan birds. Also many other 
photographs from nature are to appear,—in numbers and quality 
only equalled by those found in THE OsPREY. 
Articles are constantly appearing by the best ornithological writers and 
men of national reputation, besides articles and notes by field
