102 PHASCUM FLCERKII IN EAST YORKSHIRE. 
of “England naturalist, Mr. Thomas Altham, of Bashall 
Bowland, has systematically for some years done this 
woods in his neighbourhood, both 
fitting up boxes and by adapting sui 
trees to the purpose. We have also s 
adopted a very useful measure wh 
those putting up farm buildings can adop 
with ease and with little trouble or exper 
~ but which Mr. Masefield does not allt 
to. At Wilstrop, near York, the 
Mr. John Harrison, when erecting 
buildings, adapted them to the wu 
~ Starlings by the omission of bricked! 
and there ; and the writer remembers 
have seen the same thing done elsewh 
notably near Crackpot Gill, Swaledal 
The fourth and final part gives in alpha- 
betical order the text of the various Orders 
made in English and Welsh counties for the extension and variatiol 
of the Wild Birds Protection Acts, and stating the species dealt will 
in each administrative area. This is also a valuable and us 
part of the book, and we hope that in any future editio 
Mr. Masefield will tabulate and classify this information, and 
a list showing the scientific as well as the vernacular names of 
various birds scheduled for protection. If this was done the va 
of the book would be incalculably increased at the cost of a little 
time and trouble. The interest of the work is enhanced by 
insertion of nine co ollotype plates showing the places of nidificatio 
the Bullfinch, Nuthatch, Wren, Spotted Flycatcher, Redstart, 
and Blue Tits, and Starling. ‘Altogether the little work is full 0 
suggestive interest, and we wish it every success. It is nicely got 
up, well printed, and encased in grey cloth, embellished with blus 
and gold.
