A GAMEKEEPER’S NOTE-BOOK.

AutTuor oF ‘Tren Years’ GAMEKEEPING, 
And MARCUS WOODWARD. 
With Photogvavuve Illustvations. Large Crown 8vo., cloth. 78, 6d. net. 
In this charming and romantic book we follow the gamekeeper in 
his secret paths, stand by him while with deft fingers he arranges 
his traps and snares, watch with what infinite care he tends his 
young game through all the long days of spring and summer—and 
in autumn and winter garners with equal eagerness the fruits of his 
labour. He takes us into the coverts at night, and with him we 
keep the long vigil—while poachers come, or come not. 
Not the least interesting studies in the book are those of all the 
creatures that come in for the keeper’s special attention. Snapshot 
follows snapshot of pheasant and partridge, fox and badger, stoat 
and weasel, squirrel and dormouse, rook and crow, jackdaw and jay, 
hawk and owl, rabbit and hare, hedgehog and rat, cat and dog—and 
of all the little song-birds, the trees, herbs, and flowers that win the 
affection of the keeper, or his disapproval, in accordance with their 
helpfulness or hindrance in his work. 
The authors know their subject through and through. This is a 
real series of studies from life, and the notebook from which all the 
impressions are drawn and all the pictures painted is the real note- 
book of a real gamekeeper. Owen Jones has been a working game- 
keeper for many years, and is the leading authority and writer on 
gamekeeping subjects. In this new book he has had, in Marcus 
Woodward, the advantage of a collaborator who shares his deep love 
for all phases of woodcraft, and who has spent with him many long 
days and nights studying the life of the woods and fields. 
FLY-LEAVES FROM A FISHERMAN’S 
DIARY 
By Captain G. E. SHARP.

This is a very charming little book containing the reflections on 
things piscatorial of a ‘dry-fly’ fisherman on a south country 
stream. Although the Author disclaims any right to pose as an 
expert, it is clear that he knows well his trout, and how to catch 
them. He is an enthusiast, who thinks nothing of cycling fifteen 
miles out for an evening’s fishing, and home again when the ‘rise’ 
is over. Indeed, he confesses that there is no sport he loves so 
passionately, and this love of his art—surely dry-fly fishing is an
