The descriptions of the several species have been prepared with great
care and present several advantages over those in other books. They
are short and so expressed that they may be recalled readily while
looking at the bird. They are thus especially adapted for field use.
The illustrations were drawn especially for this work. Their number,
scientific accuracy, and careful execution add much to the value and
interest of the book. The general Key to Land and Water Birds and a
very full index make the book convenient and serviceable both for the
study and for field work.
