01tEOI(-LI6T OF )iOBTtl ltI!IE!tIOIt)i BlinD6, SECOND EDITION, THOROUGHLY REVISED.

The preface to this work defines its scope and object and includes selec- tions from the A. O. U. Code of Nomenclature, of special importance in the present connection. The table of contents consists of a systematic list of the orders, sub-orders and families of North American birds. The check-list proper gives the scientific and common name, number in previous list, and geograph- ical distribution of the x,o68 species and sub-species, constituting the North American Avifauna; the method of treatment being fully indicated by the accompanying specimen pages. This is followed by a list of birds of doubtful status, and a list of the fossil birds of North America.

This new edition has] been carefully revised; ther ecent changes in nomenclature and species and sub-species described since the publication of the first edition in i886 are included, while the portion relating to geographical distribution has been much amplified..

CLOTH, 8vo, 372 Pages, Price, $2.00.

What do you think of BlinDS?

THIS IS WHAT SOME PEOPLE THINK.

You have certainly hit upon a method of reproducing natural colors with remarkable fidelity to nature. DR. ELLIOT COUES.

Your magazine has certainly had a phenomenal success, and it is en- tirely worthy of its cordial reception.

J. A. ALLEN, Editor, 'The Auk.' This is one of the most beautiful and interesting l•ublications yet at-

tempted In this direction. It has other attractions in addition to its beauty, and it must win its way to popular favor.

CHAS. R. SKINNER, New York State Superintendent of Schools. Most of these pictures are astonishingly good. I like them so well

that I shall put them up on the walls of my rustic retreat 'Slab Sides'. JOHN BURROWS.

When one considers the low price at which you sell BiRX)S, the hum- and excellence of the plates is surprising, and I trust that your efforts to popularize the study of ornithology may meet with the success it so well deserves. F.M. CHAPMAN, Associate Editor, 'The Auk.'

Experts agree that the success of the delicate coloring in the Pass- enger Pigeon (January, z898 ) is the greatest triumph the art of print- ing has attained.
