THIS chart measures 22x28 inches, and figures 

 sixty-two representative species of our eigh- 

 teen families of Perching Birds. From Crow 

 to Kinglet, all these figures are photographed to 

 the same scale; and one may therefore instructively 

 compare, at a glance, characteristic members of all 

 our families of Perching Birds. 



This chart has been so highly commended by 

 teachers that we have decided to place it on sale at 

 twenty-five cents per copy, postpaid. Special terms 

 will be made to schools and bird clubs ordering ten 

 or more copies.
