A list of bibliographical referencesrounds out the treatment in a way whichleaves nothing to be desired. The nomenclature followed is that ofRidgways Birds of North and MiddleAmerica—the most logical and all-sufficient which has yet been evolved. Mr. Chapmans thorough knowledgeof the group, together with the free useof the results of co-workers, has given usin a form easy to consult, practically allthat we know about the northern speciesof Mniotiltida. To the technical orni-thologist, as well as to the amateur withonly the Myrtle and Yellow Warblers onhis list, this volume will be of con-stant use. Large 8vo.,320 pages. Cloth, $3 net.
