CHARLES DIXON'S WORKS. 
THE 
NESTS AND EGGS OF BEITISH BIEDS 
WHEN AND WHERE TO FIND THEM. 
Being a Handbook to the Oology of the British Islands. 
Crown 8vo, 6s. 
THE GAME BIEDS AND WILD FOWL 
OF 
THE BRITISH ISLANDS. 
Being a Handbook for the I^"aturalist and Sportsman. 
Illustrated by A. T. Elwes. Demy 8vo, 18s. 
Tlie Times says: — " All sportsmen and naturalists and all who love birds, even 
if they do not claim to be naturalists, and do not even desire to be sportsmen, will wel- 
come Mr. Charles Dixon's elaborate and comprehensive work on ' The Game Birds and 
Wild Fowl of the British Islands.' Mr. Dixon is the author of the work on ' The Migration 
of Birds,' which we noticed not long ago, and of many other books relating to bird-life und 
the study of rural nature. Mr. Dixon's present work is full of interest for the bird- 
lover, and full of information for the sportsman, besides being copious and exact from the 
purely scientific point of view." 
The Daily Telegraph says : — " A valuable work. . . . The information which 
is given in the case of each family of birds is comprehensive ; it includes a description of 
habits and appearance, which is often supplemented by excellent illustrations in black find 
white, an account of its geographical distribution, lines of migration, and manner of build- 
ing its nest. Where personal experience has fallen snort, the author has gone to the 
highest and latest authorities; and tlie result is a book which will be of great assistance 
to both the classes for whom it is intended to cater." 
The Illustrated Sporting- and Dramatic News says:— "Mr. Dixon is 
indeed an ornithologist of the completes! type. . . . We are convinced that the work has 
been most ably and thoroughly done." 
The County Gentleman says : — " It is not often that such vast stores of learning 
and the results of such close, protracted, and accurate observation have been so happily and 
usefully illustrated and embodied as they are in this highly important work. . . . The 
information given is both copious and succinct. . . . We have come across no handbook on 
the subject of British Game Birds and Wild Fowls which can bear comparison with Mr. 
Dixon's for completeness, conciseness, or excellence of arrangement ; certainly no kindred 
publication has embodied in so broadly comprehensive a way the results of the most recent 
researches and discoveries." 
THE BIRDS OF OUR RAMBLES: 
A Companion for the Country. 
With Illustrations by A. T. Elwes. Crown 8vo, 7s. 6d. 
The Globe says : — " In ' The Birds of our Rambles ' we have yet another of Mr. 
Charles Dixon's popular descriptions of natural objects. . . . His object is less to be 
severely scientific than to be pleasantly graphic, his method being to direct the observer's 
attention to whatever, in the birds mentioned, is most likely to appeal to him — the notes, 
the general appearance, or any peculiarity of habit. The result is a book which, though 
practically encyclopaedic in comprehensiveness and detail, is nevertheless eminently 
readable. Some excellent illustrations help to assist the text."
