HIS is a very fully illustrated work, dealing 
with the majority of Birds found in Southern 
Australia, south of an imaginary line drawn 
@p- from Brisbane on the east to Geraldton on 
I the west. While the references on the life- 
histories are made on the useful birds, there are 
chapters on the birds more or less useful and on 
those introduced from other countiies. 
By the term useful bird is meant one of value 
to the fruit-grower, agriculturist, and pastoralist— 
for the most part an insect-eating bird. 
A key to each bird is provided, with a reference 
to nest and eggs. Derivations and accentuations 
are taken from the author’s “ Key to the Birds of 
Australia,” as approved by Prof. Tucker, Lift. D., 
with expansions. 
This will be found an invaluable and most 
interesting book to all nature lovers, as it has 
been prepared by one engaged for many years 
in the direct study of nature.
