Thomas S. Roberts, M.D., Professor of Ornithology and Director of the Museum of Natural History of the University of Minnesota, has made an interesting and attractive contribution to not only local but national bird life in the edition, judging by a sample plate sent to HOBBIES office. The plates are reproduced by an improved lithographic process from water-color paintings by leading bird artists of North America, Allan Brooks, W. A. Weber, Francis L. Jacques, George M. Sutton, W. J. Breckinridge. One plate is by the late Louis Agassiz Fuertes. In addition more than five hundred half-tones, line drawings, and maps by the author illustrate the two volumes. The deluxe edition is all that is left of the printing of this series. This edition is in two volumes, bound by William A. Kittredge. The price is $25 for the set.

The publishers are the University of Minnesota Press, Minneapolis, Minn.
