_ The gratitude of the author is due for the use of 
_ photographs, (which give such intimate glimpses of wild 
bird ways) to Mrs. C. E. Forsyth, to Mr. Ronald Chapman, 
and to the family (for the use of her — a the late Mrs. 
Granville Ross Pike. | 
Finally, to Mrs. R. S. Fringer, Miss M. Sescher Miss L. 
Maxine Kelly, and Miss Nina Moore much might be said: 
_to the first three, because they gave encouraging aid in > 
time of urgent need,and to the latter, because the lines © 
which she has written to sum up the underlying ideas of 
each section give in a concentrated, beautiful way the 
thoughts otherwise expressed alone in clumsy prose.
