THE 
SOUTH. 
T HE SOUTH occupies a distinctive field in journal 
ism. It is the only newspaper in the country, de¬ 
voted exclusively to the material development of the 
Southern States. It is a reliable medium through 
which the people of the North, and of foreign lands, 
may gam correct and valuable information of the 
boundless resources of the South, and a just estimate 
of its people. 
A series of special illustrated issues of The South 
has been begun, in which it is proposed to treat of 
each of the Southern States in turn. These issues 
will be made up of articles treating of railroads and 
commerce, manufactures and agriculture, soils, min¬ 
erals, climate and products, history and literature. 
These papers wiil be made the most comprehensive and 
valuable contributions to the leading subjects in 
question yet published. 
The South is a handsome, large, -weekly journal of 
eight pages, printed on fine white paper, and mailed 
at $3 a year, in advance. Single copies 10 cents.

A History of North American Birds. 
Messrs. LITTLE, BROWN & CO., 
110 Washington street, Boston, 
Have the pleasure of announcing to the public an en¬ 
tirely original work upon the BIRDS OF NORTH 
AMERICA, prepared by Prof. Spencer P. Baird, As¬ 
sistant Secretary of the Smithsonian Institution, with 
the co-operation of Dr. Thomas M. Brewer and Mr. 
Robert Ridgway. 
The LAND BIRDS, complete in 3 vols., small 4to, 
illustrated by 593 woodcuts, and 64 plates of full life- 
size Illustrations of the Heads of the species. Vols. I 
II, LAND BIRDS now ready; Vol. Ill ready in 
March. Price $10 per Vol.; colored by hand, $20. 
Volume IV, on the WATER BIRDS, is in an advanced 
state of preparation, and will, it is expected, be ready 
earjyin 1875. 
Delivered free to any part of the United States on re. 
ceipt of the 'price. 
The authors have been permitted access to the uiv 
rivalled collections of the Smithsonian Institution, 
which embrace everything necebsary to the prepara¬ 
tion of a complete account of the Birds of North 
America, in the immense number of skins, as also of 
nests and eggs, brought from every locality, and prop¬ 
erly classified, and arranged, and in most cases accom¬ 
panied by detailed notices of their history. 
The object of the present work is to give a complete 
account of the birds of the whole of North America, 
north of Mexico, arranged according to the most ap¬ 
proved system of modern classification; and with de¬ 
scriptions, which, while embodying -whatever is neces¬ 
sary to the proper definition of the species and their 
varieties, in as simple a language as possible, exclude 
all unnecessary technicalities and irrelevant matter. 
On this account it is especially recommended to the 
beginner. The descriptions are all prefaced by ana¬ 
lytical and synoptical tables intended to diminish as 
much as possible the labor of identification. 
The illustrations consist, first, of a series of outlines 
exhibiting the peculiarities of the wing, tail, bill, and 
feet of each genus; hut as these diagrams, however 
serviceable to the ornithologist, necessarily fail to give 
any idea of the form of the bird, they are supplement¬ 
ed by a second series, including a full-length figure of 
one species of each genus. In addition to the above, 
a series of plates is furnished, containing one or more 
figures of the head, in most cases of life-size, of every 
species of North American bird, including the differ¬ 
ent sexes, ages, and seasons, where these are neces¬ 
sary for the proper illustration of the subject. 
The Publishers feel justified in saying that the typo¬ 
graphical execution of the work, and the accuracy and 
beauty of its illustrations, surpass anything of the 
kind ever published in America.
