By W. T. HORNADAY 



Director of the New York Zoological Park ; Author of "Two Years in the Jungle." 



"It is a work of dignity and impor- 

 tance." — Brooklyn Eagle. 



"Like the Bible and dictionary, a 

 really trustworthy natural history is 

 one of those books no family should 

 be without, and it gives us pleasure 

 to commend this one hea:tily." — 

 Woman ' s Home Companion. 



"In this elaborate work, Mr. Horn- 

 aday has made a very important con- 

 tribution to the natural history of 

 America, perhaps the most important 

 since the publication of Audubon's 

 'Birds of America.' " — Picayune, New 

 Orleans. 



"This book is the crowning 

 achievement of a man who has spent 

 his life in the study of animals. It 

 will remain, we anticipate, for scores 

 of years as the abiding authority on 

 the natural history of this country."

OUR BIG GAME 



With J 6 full-page illustrations of wild animals* ovo, $2.00 net (postage J 6 cents) 



This book is written from the 

 point of view of the sportsman 

 who is also a lover of nature. 

 The work is divided into four 

 books, treating, respectively, of 

 the individual members of the 

 Deer Family, the Ox Family, 

 the Bear Family and the Cat 

 Family. The author has shot 

 nearly all of the animals he 

 describes, and his stories of the 

 chase and his accounts of the 

 habits of the various wild ani- 

 mals are both entertaining and 

 instructive. The illustrations 

 are, for the most part, from 

 photographs of wild animals in 

 their natural haunts. 



Our Feathered Game 



A Handbook for Sportsmen 



S full pages in color and 135 bird portraits. $2.00 net. 



"The sportsman's point of view is never lost sight of, neither is the 

 naturalist's." — New York Sun. 



"The chapters are short and to the point, nntechnical, and contain, be- 

 sides the story of the usual behavior of the fowl in question, its geographical 

 distribution and seasons, frequent anecdotes from the author's own ex- 

 periences, and restrictions with which State legislatures have surrounded the 

 quarries in game laws." — New York Tribune. 



"From the standpoint of a general reader it is interesting, and from that 

 of a sportsman, doubly so, in fact is invaluable. ... On his descriptions 

 the author makes himself well understood in simple language, while the eight 

 full-page shooting scenes in color materially stir the blood of the follower of the 

 dog and gun." — Providence News. 



"Mr. Dwight TV. Huntington has been the first to put the birds of the whole 

 country under their specific headings into one volume." — Washington Post.
