" The plan of ' The Color Key to North 

 American Birds' seems admirably designed 

 to simplify the identification of birds in the 

 field, and the book should be of great as- 

 sistance to those who study 'birds through 

 an opera-glass.' " J. A. ALLEN, Curator 

 of Mammalogy and Ornithology, American 

 Museum of Natural History. 



"The 'Color Key to North American Birds' 

 seems to me to mark the greatest advance yet 

 made in popularizing the study of birds. That so 

 serviceable a book can be offered at such a low 

 price is a striking example of the 'open door' in 

 the pursuit of knowledge that distinguishes the 

 present age — what a boon it would have been to 

 some of us who were groping our slow and uncer- 

 tain way along these lines forty years ago!"
