 will be useful to the ornithologist. . . . The illustrations are good, and the colouring 

 very delicate."

 studies of Nature, the descriptions of the birds given in the letterpress being supple- 

 mented by illustrations of very high merit indeed."

 It is a dainty little volume of rather more than a hundred pages, and is prettily 



illustrated The notes are to the point, and show more than an average 



acquaintance with Egyptian bird-life."
