Hallock, Charles. — The Sportman's Gazetteer and General Guide. 

 Fifth edition. By Charles Hallock. 



. . . .This book has become a recognized authority on all subjects of 

 which it treats, having been already republished in England, France, 

 and Germany... The ornithological portions were, we believe, pre- 

 pared by Mr. George B. Grinnell.— J. A. A., Bull. Nutt. Orniih. Club,

Harvie-Brown, John A.— Ornithological Journal of the Winter of

 F.Z.S., M.B.O.U. Proc. Nat. Hist. Soc. Glasgow, 1879, pp. 123- 

 190. 



The winter of 1878-79 proved of unusual severity, and its effect 



upon animal life, and especially upon bird life attracted the attention 

 of many careful observers, Mr. Harvie-Brown giving a list of more than 

 a dozen published papers relating to the subject. These with his own 

 observations and the collected notes of his many correspondents, form 

 the basis of the paper above cited, .... nearly fifty pages being devoted 

 to birds ...— J. A. A., Bull Nutt. Ornith. CM, Vol. V, pp. 233, 234, 

 October, 1880.

 Union, etc. Edinburgh: David Douglas, 1879, 8vo., pp. i-xv, 

 1-155, map and pll. 



. . . .Mr. Harvie-Brown treats the general subject of the Capercaillie 

 in Scotland exhaustively. Beginning with such prehistoric evidence 

 as is afforded by the bone-caves and Kitchen-middens. . . .He then pre- 

 sents its history prior to extinction, followed by that of its restora- 

 tion, and a detailed account of its increase and extension, illustrated 

 by a map He later discusses the influences which govern its increase, 

 its relation to the decrease of Black Game, its damage to forests and 

 grain, etc. Of special interest also are his chapters on the derivation, 

 significance, and proper orthography of the word Capercaillie. In 

 short, every point of the subject is elaborated with the utmost thorough- 

 ness, the work forming a model of its class. — J. A. A., Bull. Nutt. Ornith.

 date.) Large 8vo. Part I., pp. 1-24, pll. i, ii., March, 1879. 



. . .treats of ten species of Thrushes, and gives illustrations of 

 their eggs. The text includes, not only descriptions of the nests and 

 eggs of the species treated, but a full and pleasantly written account of 

 their habits and breeding range ...We wish that we could speak in 

 terms of equal commendation ot the chromo-lithographic plates, which 

 are sadly defective in point of faithfulness to nature and in artistic ex- 

 ecution.— J. A. A., Bull. Nutt. Ornith. Ctub, Vol IV., p. 172, July, 1S79.
