The Spaniel and Its Training. 



By F. H. F. Mercer To which are added the 

 American and English Spaniel Standards. 

 Cloth. Illustrated. Price $1.00. 



The chapters are practical and sensible. There is 

 no theory in them. Here is a man who trained his 

 dogs; learned by experience how to do it; and now 

 has put down that experience for the benefit of 

 others. We predict for "The Spaniel and Its Train- 

 ing" that wide popularity and favor which of right 

 belong to practical books by practical men for 

 practical men. In addition to the chapters on train- 

 ing there are descriptions of the several varieties 

 of spaniels, with portraits of typical specimens; 

 notes on the spaniel in America, and the standards 

 adopted by the English and American spaniel clubs

North American Shore Birds. 



A History, of the Snipes, Sandpipers, Plovers and 

 their Allies inhabiting the beaches and marshes of 

 the Atlantic and Pacific Coasts, the prairies and the 

 shores of the inland lakes and rivers of the North 

 American Continent; their popular and scientific 

 names, together with a full description of their 

 mode of life, nesting, migration and dispersions, 

 with descriptions of the summer and winter plu- 

 mages of adults and young, so that each species 

 may be readily identified. A Reference Book for 

 the Naturalist, Sportsman and Lover of Birds, by 

 Daniei Giraud Elliot. With seventy-four plates. 

 Price $2.50. 



Mr. Elliot's purpose being to make a book which 

 should be for the sportsman and bird lover rather 

 than for the naturalist, he has written his descrip- 

 tions so that they shall be plain and easily compre- 

 hended. 



Scientific Duck Shooting in Eastern Waters. 



By R. S. Nye. Cloth, lie pages. Price $1.25. 

 The author has something to say about duck 

 shooting, and he says it without drawing on a 

 thousand extraneous circumstances, or dwelling on 

 others beyond their value, and having skillfully pre- 

 sented what he had to say, he stops— a matter not 

 always truly appreciated by speakers and writers. 



Caribou Shooting in Newfoundland, 1894. 



By Dr. 

 Price 



A vast fund of practical information is embodied, 

 which will be invaluable to any one who takes a 

 similar trip, and which was obtained by the author 

 only after much correspondence, study and personal 

 experience.
