Vogelwirthe. Von Dr. Ant. Reichenow. In zwei Theilen. 

 [Theil I.] Leipzig, 1882, 8vo., pp. xxx., 278. 



Dr. Reichenow's handbook for bird-keepers is designed to furnish 

 . . . .the means of readily identifying such species as are kept in zoolog- 

 ical gardens, park?, and aviaries, and seems to be well adapted to that 

 end. The first part . . treats of 695 species . . Concise diagnoses are 

 given . . and English and French, as well as German, vernacular names 

 are supplied for the species. As a popular hand book for German 



readers the work seems worthy of generous commendation. — J. A. A.,
