A MONOGRAPH of the PARADISEID^ffi, or Birds of Paradise, 

 and PTIIiONORHYNCHIDJE, or Bower-Birds. By R. BOWDLER SHARPE, 

 LL.D., F.Z.S., etc. Illustrated with 79 magnificent Hand Coloured Illustrations ; complete in 8 

 Parts, imperial folio, uniform with Mr. GOULD'S WORKS. Price £35, 4s. nett. Bound in two fine 

 volumes, half morocco extra, gilt edges, £30 nett ; or whole morocco super extra, gilt edges, £35 nett. 



The author, believes that this is the most complete account of the Birds of Paradise which has yet been compiled, 

 as it includes the results of all the recent workers in New Guinea, where some most splendid species lately discovered 

 have been figured in this work, including Paradisornis Rtidolphi, Astrarchia Stcphania; Paradisea Augusta Victoria, 

 etc. Where practicable, the fine plates of Gould's Birds of New Guinea have been employed ; but in many cases the 

 species have been re-drawn by Mr. Hart, the artist who assisted Mr. Gould in the production of his plates for more 

 than forty years. 



A MONOGRAPH of the HIRUNDINID^, or Family of Swal- 

 lows. By R. BOWDLER SHARPE, LL.D., F.Z.S., etc., and CLAUDE W. WYATT, Member 

 of the British Ornithologists'' Union. Illustrated with 5 3 beautiful Hand-Coloured Plates of the 

 several Species, and 1 1 Coloured Maps showing Geographical Distribution. Price in parts, £io, los. 

 nett (only sold complete). Substantially bound in two volumes quarto, calf gilt, £12, los. nett. 

 Strong half morocco, uncut, top edges gilt, £13, 12s. nett. 



This beautiful work is uniform with Dr. Sharpe's Monograph of the Kingfishers, and other like works in 

 Ornithology, and is the only work completely treating this widely extended and interesting family. Besides the portraits 

 of the various species, there is the valuable feature of eleven coloured maps to illustrate the geographical distribution 

 and the course of the yearly migrations, of a thoroughness never attempted before, and the work may, as indicated 

 above, be considered as exhausting its subject for many years to come. 



BY HOOK AND BY CROOK. By eraser SANDEMAN. One volume crown 

 quarto, illustrated with Coloured Plates of Flies, etc., and many other Illustrations, from Water- 

 colour Drawings and Etchings by the Author. Cloth, top edges gilt, 18s. nett. 



A sumptuous and entertaining book, the work of a keen angler, who has fished in many waters, has opinions of his 

 own about salmon fishing and salmon flies, and yet can write about the chub and other fish, and who is able with his 

 pencil to illustrate the product of his pen. The illustrations consist of coloured plates of flies, and sketches from water- 

 colour drawings and etchings of the author. . . . The author does not claim either literary or artistic merit for his 

 book, but it has both. The bulk of the matter relates to salmon fishing, the same being both angling adventures and 

 didactic suggestions, Such chapters as ' The Angler's Friends and Enemies ' are invaluable to the young angler, who 

 will find the result of long experience presented in a comprehensive form for his instruction. . . . Mr. Sandeman is not 

 so taken up with his fishing as to be unable to spare a passing word to the feathered companions of his sport in the 

 moorland districts ; he does the water-ouzel the justice of affirming that he well deserves his title of the fisherman's 

 companion. For the reminiscences in England and Ireland, the instructions for minnow fishing for salmon, and 

 accidents of flood and field, we must refer the reader to the book itself, and it is a volume which anglers will welcome.

NEW PRINTS. 



MILLAIS (Sir J. E., Bart., P.R.A.). 



THE XiAST TREK. Very finely reproduced in Photogravure from the Artist's Original 

 Drawing (his last finished production). The whole impression limited to 550 Copies, Proofs before 

 letters, on India Paper, price £3, is. nett. 



The above Print is a wholly new photogravure from Sir John Millais's last complete drawing, which he produced 

 as a frontispiece to his son's work A Breath from the Veldt, where it appears on a reduced scale. It therefore possesses 

 a twofold interest, as one of the very last productions of its Author's pen, and from its own touching subject — the death 

 of a hunter on the Veldt, watched by his two faithful native "boys," under the rays of the setting sun. The reproduc- 

 tion is a very fine one, and conveys with remarkable success the effect of the original drawing. 



PORTRAIT OF HENRY SEEBOHM, F.Z.S., Author of ' Siberia 



in Europe,' etc. Finely reproduced in Photogravure from the last Photograph of the Author. 

 Proof Impressions on India Paper, price 15s. nett. 



From Mr. Seebohm's great eminence as an ornithologist, and the great respect in which he was held by his many 

 friends, it has been thought that many would like to possess a good portrait of him in a permanent form. The above 

 has been excellently reproduced on a good scale as a Photogravure from a Photograph approved by Mrs. Seebohm, 

 and is limited to 100 Copies.
