their Eggs. Loudon: 1883, 8vo, pts. i. & ii., pp. i.-xvi. & 1-614, 
pis. i.-x., xii., xiv., xvi., xvii., xx.-xxiv. & xxxvi. ; pt. iii. pp. 1-288,

The illustrations surpass any yet attempted. The author adopts the 
specific name employed by the majority of standard ornithologists, and 
a great simplicity of nomenclature is attained. An excellent review of 
Palmarctic species allied to British forms, is given in every article.
