A New, Revised Edition of the<br />

Color Key to<br />

North American <strong>Bird</strong>s<br />

By FRANK M. CHAPMAN<br />

With 800 drawings by C. A. Reed<br />

This work with its concise descriptions of<br />

specific characters, range and notes, and co<strong>lore</strong>d<br />

figure of each species, may be well described<br />

as an illustrated dictionary of North<br />

American birds.<br />

The introductory chapter and Systematic<br />

Table of North American <strong>Bird</strong>s have been reset<br />

and brought up to date, and two appendices<br />

have been added. The first contains descriptions<br />

of species, which have been published<br />

since the first edition of the Color Key appeared.<br />

The second is a Faunal Bibliography containing<br />

references to all the more important faunal<br />

papers on North American birds. The titles<br />

are so arranged that one can readily tell what<br />

are the principal publications relating to the<br />

birds of any given region.<br />

The book therefore makes an admirable<br />

introduction to the study of birds and the<br />

literature of ornithology, and at the same time<br />

is an authoritative work of reference.<br />

344 Pages. Cloth, $2.50 net. Postage 22 cents<br />
