This work has taken a permanent place in the literature relating to the 

 Nesting Habits of our North American Birds. It contains accurate descrip- 

 tions of the Color and Size of the Eggs of all the Land and Water Birds 

 known to breed in North America. No Oologist can afford to he without 

 this work and it takes the place of expensive works which are usually beyond 

 the reach of many collectors. 



"The illustrations are new and far 

 ahead of the old cross-eyed owls anil 

 the like which are found in so many 

 ancient and modern works on the 

 subject." — Thomas Mcllvraith, Author 

 of Vie "Birds of Ontario." . 



"I consider it a valuable contribu- i 

 tion to ornithological literature. It 

 should be in the hands of every col- J 

 lector."— Thomas 67. Get, try: Author of 

 "Nests and Eggs of Birds of the United I 

 States." "Life Histories of the Birds of i 

 Eastern Perm," etc. 



"I must say the illustrations are j 

 beautiful, and" true to life. You de- 

 serve great credit for getting out such j 

 a book. It is the only work of the 

 kind I have ever seen that exactly 

 tilled the wants of the egg collector." ; 

 — E. C. Davis, Greenville. Texas. 



"Your last work I am more than j 

 pleased with; it ought to be in the i 

 possession of every collector." — Ed- 1 

 win A. Chapen, Author of "Oology af\ 

 New England." ■ \ 



"It will be of great value; to me and j 

 I shall prize it highly."— A'. S. Goss, 

 Topeka, Kansas. 



"I am sure you have made a most j 

 useful little "book, one that every | 

 young collector (and many who. are ; 

 not young) ought to have." — Br W:'

"I take pleasure in acknowledging 

 the receipt of your "Key to the Eggs 

 of North American Birds." It is very 

 handsomely gotten up and unique. 

 It will certainly take a permanent 

 place in the ornithological literature 

 of the U. SS. Fifteen years ago what 

 would I not have given for such a vol- 

 ume? and to day 1 welcome it hearti- 

 ly. 1 wish it great success, which it 

 will surety have, unless I misjudge 

 the sense of all working oologists." — 

 Dr. Howard Jones, Author of the "Il- 

 lustrations' of. the Nests and Eggs. iff the 

 Birds of Oh io." 



"I cannot refrain from telling you 

 direct how much 1 welcome this help- 

 meet in my studies and researches, in 

 short, in a concise and thorough man- 

 ner it fills a long felt want. Add my 

 name to the long list of admirers, 

 which this charming little book must 

 have made for you." — Harry G. Par- 

 ker, Chester, Pa. 



"Have looked it over, and find it- 

 invaluable to the egg collector. The 

 descriptions are accurate and the 

 work meets a long felt want. The to- 

 pography of the work is perfect, and 

 the price is within the reach of all." —
