A POPULAR TREATISE ON 



The Birds of Eastern N. A. 



— BY — 



Rev. J. H. LAKGILLE, M. A. 



Brief descriptions, and for the most 

 part FULL LIFE HISTORIES, are 

 given of all the species common east of 

 the Mississippi, with special attention to 

 the songs and nesting, and the curious 

 and fascinating, of which there is so much 

 in the lives of these wonderful creatures. 

 The narrative follows, for the most part, 

 the orders of the seasons, and groups 

 itself about certain interesting localities, 

 as Niagara River and St. Clair Flats. 

 Migration, instinct, the analogy of nidi- 

 fication, the specialized forms and adap- 

 tati n of structure of birds &c., all made 

 readable. 



The work is mostly from personal 

 observations, incorporating a full report 

 for Western New York and adjoining 

 regions of the great lakes, and a pretty 

 full report for Nova Scotia, also a good 

 deal of direct information from Hudson's 

 Bay, by means of an excellent corres- 

 pondent. 



In cloth, printed on fine tinted paper, 



PRICE $3.00. 



By special arr ngement, evcy person 

 purchasing the work direct from us 

 will receive The Young Ornithologist 

 free for one year.
