48 THE AUDUBON BULLETIN 



Bird is That because it treats of both land and water birds in 

 one volume and because its descriptive text is more complete and 

 authoritative. The illustrations though small are accurate and 

 reliable aids to identification. 



Illinois Audubon Society Recommends: 



The Nature Notebooks edited by Anna Botford Comstock 

 are among the most useful and practical aids to successful 

 work in nature study ever published. They include two bird 

 notebooks and one each on trees, plants, insects, fish, and com- 

 mon animals. They combine field work and school work (or home 

 work) under one cover. They are an inspiration to the teacher 

 and the student. The Bird Notebooks contain for field use, out- 

 lines for observations of bird colors, flight, nesting habits, 

 haunts, foods, etc., and in addition there are outline drawings 

 on water color paper of 58 birds, 30 of these drawings in the 

 first book and 28 in the second. These drawings were made es- 

 pecially for the books by Louis Agassiz Fuertes. The Tree 

 Notebook and the other notebooks in the series can be recom- 

 mended in unqualified terms. Each of the notebooks is pocket 

 size, 4 7/8 by 7 inches, and they range from 123 to 150 pages. 

 They sell for 35 cents each with special rates in quantity. They 

 are published by the Comstock Publishing Company, Ithaca, New 

 York. 



"Have Birds About Your Place" is the title of one of the most 

 accurate and most beautiful sets of bird cards ever issued for 

 general circulation. They are printed on stiff, durable card- 

 board, 9% by 11 inches in size. The 24 cards in the set illustrate 

 56 of our common birds in natural colors. In addition, there are 

 several charts showing the food eaten, illustrations of insects 

 upon which the birds feed, a brief description of each bird, its 

 haunts and habits and outlines for bird study. Every bird lover 

 should have a set. The cards were published by the Agricul- 

 tural Extension Department of the International Harvester 

 Company, Chicago, which offers them at $2.50 for a single set or 

 $2 for 10 or more sets. 



The announcement in the Spring 1921 Bulletin of the pub- 

 lication of a set of stereographs on bird life is of sufficient im- 

 portance to warrant repetition here : 



The Keystone View Co., of Meadville, Penn., manufacturers of lan- 

 tern slides and stereographs, publish a set of one hundred stereographs 

 on bird life, which can be recommended without reserve for use in the 

 home and the school. The photographs were taken by Prof. Guy Bailey 

 of Geneseo, N. Y., expert photographer of bird life, who furnished a 

 number of the slides in the sets owned by the Illinois Audubon Society. 

 The stereographs made from his photographs are hand colored and 

 bring out all the possibilities of that form of photography. The home 

 life of adult birds and fledglings, the nests and their environments are 

 especially well brought out. Stereographs of this sort furnish a valu- 

 able and very definite way to study birds.
