for instead of treating of all the species found in the United States it 

 deals with but fifty . . . The typography and press work are good, but 

 the plates fall far short of deserving the same praise. . . .of most of the 

 plates. . . .the perspective is very bad. . . .and . . nearly all have the ap- 

 pearance of cheap chromo-lithographs . . . . the work does not contain 

 anything approaching a complete '• detailed account of the habits" of 



a single species . . .instead of becoming an authority Mr. Gentry's 



book on nests and eggs must inevitably find its level alongside such 

 unreliable and worthless productions as Jasper's "Birds of North 

 America". . . .— 0. H. M., Bull. Nutt. Ornith. Club, Vol. VII., pp. 246-248,

 gration of Birds in the Autumn of 1879. By John A. Harvie- 

 Brown and John Cordeaux. Zoologist, May, 1880, pp. 161-204. 



. . . two well-known British ornithologists, have set themselves 

 seriously at work in the matter of collecting exact data respecting the 

 movements of birds during their migrations along the coasts of Great 

 Britain Observations made at other points are incidentally incor- 

 porated, including Herr G'atke's report from Heligoland. The work so 

 earnestly begun. . . .should be a stimulus to concurrent action on the 

 part of others, and nowhere are the conditions more favorable for sys- 

 tematic work than in the United States. — J. A. A ., Bull. Nutt. Ornith. 

 Club, Vol. V., pp. 175-177, July, 1880.
