Abstract
(1)MR. HEADLEY is well known, in the Aëronautical Society and outside it, for his interesting studies of bird flight. If he has not much that is novel to say about the more controversial points on which some difference of opinion still remains, he is yet able to write very pleasantly and instructively, and often from his own observation, about all the main features of bird flight; and the series of the author's photographs selected for reproduction makes one wish for more.
