Abstract
THE two handsome and beautifully illustrated volumes containing the history of the birds of the Regency of Tunis form a fitting crown to the years of work in the field, the museum, and the library which their author has devoted to the ornithology of this until recently little known country. They form too a valuable contribution to the avifauna of the western Mediterranean region; for although the present work purports to be merely a history of the birds noticed in Tunisia, and of their lives as observed in that country, the author has thought it advisable, when possible, to allude to the occurrence of the various species also in Algeria and Morocco, as likewise, in some cases, in Tripoli, and in the Mediterranean basin generally.
