Extract from an Extended Review in "THE AUK." 



It is upon some considerable acquaintance with the literature of orni- 

 thology, acquired in the course of forty years, that we declare the present 

 to be the best "all-round " book we have ever seen: the one that best 

 answers the purposes of ths most readers: the one which conveys the 

 most information per thousand ems; the one which is freest from mis- 

 statements of any sort ; the one which is most cautious and conservative 

 in expression of opinions where opinions may reasonably differ ; the one 

 which is the most keenly critical, yet most eminently just in rendering 

 adverse decisions.
