BIRDS 
AMERICAN GAME BIRDS. By Chester A. 
Reed. Is a book written especially for sports- 
men as a concise guide to the identification of 
game birds to be found in this country. Over 
one hundred species of game birds are faith- 
fully depicted by the colored pictures, and tlie 
text gives considerable idea of their habits and 
tells where they are to be found at different 
seasons of the year. These illustrations are re- 
produced from water-color paintings by the 
author, whose books on birds and flowers have 
had the largest sale of any ever published in 
this country. They are made by the best known 
process by one of the very first engraving 
houses in the country and the whole typography 
is such as is rarely seen in any book. The 
cover is a very attractive and imiiiue one, a 
reproduction of leather made from the back of 
a^ boa constrictor with set-in pictures of game 
birds. 50 cents.
