With Illustrations. Demy Sro. lfls. Qui. net. 

 Professor MaeGillivray was the most accomplished Ornithologist of 

 his time in Britain, and one of the last of the all-round naturalists. 

 The numerous extracts from what remains of his manuscript journals 

 — the story, for instance, of his walk from Aberdeen to London — are 

 full of human interest, and the representative selections from his 

 natural history sketches will enable the reader to appreciate the accom- 

 plished naturalist's outlook and style. Some of the illustrations show 

 MacGillivray's skill in drawing birds, and others depict the colleges 

 where he learned and taught.
