THE BIRDS OF CUMBERLAND. By Rev. H. A. Macpherson, M.A., 

 Member British Ornithologists' Union, and William Duckworth. 



This work has received high praise in scientific quarters, notably in * The 

 Ibis' and ' Nature.' It describes fully the life-histories of the Dotterel and other 

 6carce birds of the Lake Counties. Only a few copies remain unsold, and the 

 price of these will be raised to 12s. almost immediately. 



Copies may be obtained from Messrs. Thurnam, English Street ; or direct 

 from Rev. H. A. Macpherson, 20, Cecil Street, Carlisle.
