"Chapters on the Natural History of the United States" is publication 

 No. 2 issued under the auspices of the Natural Science Association of 

 America, under whose auspices was issued as publication No. 1 that great 

 work knwon Studer's Popular Cruithology "The Birds of North America," 

 a superb imperial quarto volume of 110 artistic engraved colored plates, 12 

 by 15 inches, representing all cur birds true to nature, with a copious text 

 embracing the olscrvaticns made by the moi-t eminent writers on orni- 

 thology. Er. Shufeldt's valuable new Icck (publication No. 2) is a hand-

 many full page plates and uunierous text figures. The life histories are 

 written in a thcrcughly popular .style and v>ill prove to be instructive to 

 every student of nature. One of the chief features of the work consists of 

 the elegant half-tone plates, reprcduceel frcm a series of photographs all 

 made by Dr. Shufelelt himself from the living forms. The work is one of 

 the best that has appeared of late years anel should be in the library of 

 every working ornithologist in the United States. "C. F. H."

 of the Seconcl American edition of Gurhrie's Geography (edited by Sam- 

 uel N. Rhoades), came too late fcr review in this issue of the Iowa Orni-
