Color Key to 

 North American Birds 



By PRANK M. CHAPMAN 



With 800 drawings by C. A. Reed 



This work with its concise descriptions of 

 specific characters, range and notes, and col- 

 ored figure of each species, may be well de- 

 scribed as an illustrated dictionary of North 

 American birds. 



The introductory chapter and Systematic 

 Table of North American Birds have been re- 

 set and brought up to date, and two appendices 

 have been added. The first contains descrip- 

 tions of species, which have been published 

 since the first edition of the Color Key appeared. 

 The second is a Faunal Bibliography contain- 

 ing references to all the more important faunal 

 papers on North American birds. The titles 

 are so arranged that one can readily tell what 

 are the principal publications relating to the 

 birds of any given region. 



The book therefore makes an admirable 

 introduction to the study of birds and the 

 literature of ornithology, and at the same time 

 is an authoritative work of reference.
