" A pleasant and admirable book .... Mr. Knight Horsfield writes very charmingly and 



much more in the style of Richard Jeff eries than of the late Professor Newton The book 



is excellently illustrated by photographs by that close observer and student of bird-life, Mr. T. A. 

 Metcalfe, and others. They absolutely justify the remark of the author that 'in many cases they 

 ■show phases of bird-life rarely to be witnessed, and have been obtained under conditions which may 

 never recur.' " — Country Life. .

 "The book is one that will be eagerly welcomed."— G^asg-o-o/ Herald.
