AVERY DIFFERENT volume from the exhaustive "Dictionary of Birds," by 

 Professor Alfred Newton, which ranks as "the most valuable and interesting 

 contribution ever made to the subject " of Ornithology, but one which may well hold 

 its own place beside that work on the student's table or precede it on its shelves. It 

 is rarely complete, more so than any book of its class published, and the descriptions, 

 though brief, are clear, and, whenever necessary, illustrated by drawings made spe- 

 cially for this work. Prefixed to each group described is a brief summary of the 

 Structure and Habits, a few further particulars of the same nature being subse- 

 (juently added where necessary, with a statement of the main Fossil forms as yet 

 recorded. The Scheme of Classification is of great value to the Student. 



With about 150 Illustrations, Charts, Index, etc., 

 and an outline showing the Scheme of Classification adopted
