DAVIE'S "KEY." 





Our 



thanks are due Oliver Davie for a copy 



oi 



the third edition of his very valuable work on "Nest: 

 and Eggs of North Am. Birds." He has greatly enlargec' 

 the work (it now consists of 475 pages) having entirely re- 

 written it and added a number of fine full page illustrations 

 by Theodore Jasper and W. Otto Emerson. It now includes 

 all the species that occur north of the southern U. S. boun- 

 dary including Lower California and Greenland, giving the 

 breeding range, time of nesting, number of eggs laid, color 

 and size, together with the chief characteristics of the birds. 

 This latter point makes the work very interesting to read as 

 well as being a manual for referrence. The new nomencla- 

 ture of the A. O. U. code is used, but Ridgway's numbers 

 are given. There are a vast number of common names giv- 

 en and these are also arranged in an index of twelve pages. 

 The work concludes with brief directions for collecting nests 

 and eggs. It is certainly invaluable as an aid for the identi- 

 fication of specimens to all those collecting in the field. In 

 fact, ft may be safely said, that the oological world owes 

 more than it can ever realize to Mr. Davie for his labors in 

 this direction.
