DR. HARLAN H. BALLARD. PRESIDENT OF THE AGASSIZ ASSOCIATION, IN POPULAR SCIENCE NEWS, ON THE BIRDS OF NORTH AMERICA. In connection wit . the foregoing report of our Ornithological Chapter, it is ouly right to sail the attention of all lovers ol birds to the magnificent work now being issued by the Natural Science Association of America, andentitler “The Birds ok North America.” Edition limited to r.ooo. I 1 is emphatically an original work, original in design and execution, and whether in letter press, illust at ions or price, it is unapproached by any! hing of the kind in existence. It is recommended by the highest scientific. ecclesiastic and edunational authority as being t :e most attractive, meritorious, pure and ennobling exposition of our ornithology yet given to the public. Dr. Elliott Coues, author of ' Birds of the North West," says; “It is a really notable work.* Prof. C. J. Maynard, author of the “Birds of Eastern North Ameiica,” says: “It contains the best pictures of the species which I have ever seen.— Thomas G. Gentry, author of “Life Histories of Birds,” and “Nests and Eggs of Birds of the United States,” says: “It is the cheapest and best publication on ornithology in this country. are of a very high order, and rivals in beauty of design and finish the more costly works published abroad or in this country. It should be found in our homes and in libraries generally.” And, according to Dr. Theodore Gill, a member of the National Academy of Sciences, it is not only a meritorious volume, but is altogether so handsome as to make it a very appropriate presentation book or ornament for the family table.*

It is an imperial quarto volume of engraved figures of all our species, eriisti caily reproduced, true in all hues of color to their natural plumage and botanical surroundings. It also includes a copious text description of their habits and characteristics, and embracing in general the observations made by the most eminent writers on ornithology, and a systematic table, arranged according to the classification adopted by the American Ornithol- < gists* Union, includes all the additions and corrections of our North American species which have been made to date, with an index to page, plate and figure of each species according to the A. O. U. number. It is illustrated with one hundred and nineteen full page colored plates, each representing from one to thirty or more species. It is the finest book on American birds issued since Audubon, and is pronounced by some authorities superior to that now rare and costly work. It is issued in half and full bindings, Russia, seal, or morocco, at the not price of S4O and $45 respectively; but in response to a special Letter, the association authorized me to say that# special discount will be made to such of our A. A. members asd others as are working naturalistsi— We commend this work especially to members of the Wilson Ornithological Chapter.
