Abstract
WITH this volume the author completes his “trilogy” of popular manuals of American birds of sport; the plan of treatment being the same as in the previous volumes, which have already been noticed in this journal. In the land of their birth the volumes on “Shore Birds” and “Gallinaceous Game Birds” have been received as the standard works for the sportsman and amateur naturalist on the subjects of which they treat; and there can be no hesitation in saying that the present issue is in all respects the equal of its forerunners. Not only will it be acceptable to American sportsmen, but it will be of still more value to those of their British brethren who are desirous of trying wild-fowl shooting on the further side of the Atlantic.

By D. G. Elliot. Pp. xxii + 316, illustrated. (London: Suckling and Co., 1898.)
