Wild Birds in City Parks. By Herbert E. and Alice Hall Walters. A. W. 



Mumford, Chicago, 1903. Paper, pp. 40. Price, 25 cents. 



Nothing in the way of bird lore that has found its way to my desk has 

 pleased me more than this little book. In my boyhood days what would 1 

 have given for a volume of this kind? I find more practical and useful infor- 

 mation in it than in any other book of its kind and size that I have ever 

 before seen. It deals with one hundred birds found in a Chicago park and 

 will be found of much value to students, first as an aid to identification, be- 

 cause of the general and particular hints ; second, in chapter on how to take 

 notes a great many of our older observers could find useful hints. It is a 

 field work of pocket size which means a great deal. I should like to see this 

 book introduced into our public schools. A. B. C.

Rev. W. Leon Dawson, of Columbus, Ohio, has in the course of prepara- 

 tion a work which will be of especial interest to all students in the Great 

 Lake region. The work of 500 pages will be beautifully illustrated by 80 

 colored plates and 200 half tones of birds, and will be exclusively a subscrip- 

 tion book. We look foreward with pleasant anticipations for "Dawson's 

 Birds of Ohio." 



Messrs. Dana Estes & Co. announce that the fifth revised edition of Dr. 

 Elliot Coues' "Key to North American Birds" will be ready some time this 

 fall. The manuscript was completed shortly before the author's death. The 

 new edition will be beautifully illustrated and will be published in two 

 volumes at $10.
