Pocket-book of British Birds 



By E. F. M. ELMS. 



" An inexpensive volume which well deserves to be a ' pocket-book ' for those 

 who wish to become field ornithologists. We are quite certain that if this pub- 

 lication is rightly used and faithfully consulted, any field naturalist may obtain a 

 thorough introduction to a knowledge of the birds he may meet on his rambles, 

 and it should be slipped in the pocket of those taking a summer holiday who are 

 not in the strict sense of the word already ornithologists." — Zoologist.
