0 drawings by C. A. Reed This work with its concise descriptions ofspecific characters, range and notes, and col-ored figure of each species, may be well de-scribed as an illustrated dictionary of NorthAmerican birds. The introductory chapter and SystematicTable of North American Birds have been re-set and brought up to date, and two appendiceshave been added. The first contains descrip-tions of species, which have been publishedsince the first edition of the Color Key appeared.The second is a Faunal Bibliography contain-ing references to all the more important faunalpapers on North American birds. The titlesare so arranged that one can readily tell whatare the principal publications relating to thebirds of any given region. The book therefore makes an admirableintroduction to the study of birds and theliterature of ornithology, and at the same timeis an authoritative work of reference. 344 Pages. Cloth, $2. 75 net.
