(Member of American Ornithologists' 1 Union.)

CLOTH, 424 PAGES - - $2.00. 



To this new and revised edition of his excellent work on the birds of this Province, Mr. Mcll- 

 wraith has brought the fuil knowledge of a life study, the accuracy of the thorough scientist, and 

 the taste and polish of a finished writer, while his pages glow with an enthusiasm the reader is 

 sure to find infectious. The book is printed in new, clear type, on paper of good quality, and put 

 in handsome and substantial extra English cloth covers. Canadian readers will be interested to 

 know that a large number of the beautiful illustrations with which ' the book is embellished are 

 the work of Mr. Ernest E. Thompson of Toronto, whose reputation as a painter of birds is not 

 surpassed, we believe, by that of any other living artist. 



COMMENTS. 



Referring to the new Canadian Ornithology : "Decidedly the best we have is this work of a 

 vetei'an observer (Thos. Mcllwraith). It places Canadian ornithology more nearly au courant 

 with the progress of the science in other paits of America, and easily advances the author to the 

 first place in his own held." — Dr. Elliot Coues, in the "Auk." 



"For many years Mr. Mcllwraith has been the acknowledged and official head of ornithology in 

 Ontario, and his name attached to any work is sufficient guarantee of merit ; for since the days of 

 Gosse I believe there has been no Canadian naturalist who more happily combined accurate 

 knowledge with a felicitous manner of expressing it. When Mr. Mc Ilwraith's first edition ap- 

 peared it was practically out of print within a few months of its publication, and the number of 

 enquiries during the last year or two show that a similiar. reception awaits this, for the work is 

 undoubtedly the best extant on the birds of Ontario.'.— Ernest E, Thompson, Naturalist to 

 the Manitoba Government. Sent prepaid upon receipt of price 83.00. Address all orders to
