LATE DEPUTY-SUPERINTENDENT OF THE INDIAN MUSEUM, CALCUTTA WITH NUMEROUS ILLUSTRATIONS FROM PHOTOGRAPHS _Demy_ 8_vo._ 10_s._ 6_d. net_ PRESS OPINIONS _Standard._—“This book, dealing with the courting of birds, how they fight and mimic, and moult and blush, is one of the most fascinating we have read for some time. His book will prove as interesting to the general reader as to the enthusiastic naturalist.” _Morning Post._—“The book consists of a number of papers—all are delightfully readable. A very interesting and delightful book. The style is always clear and free from technicalities; this volume will certainly prove as entertaining to the general reader as it is interesting to the naturalist.” _Globe._—“The pleasantest of reading—produced most charmingly. The book is illustrated with numbers of beautiful photographs showing bird and beast life with wonderful truth and charm. We must congratulate Mr Finn and his publisher on one of the most alluring nature books we have seen for a long time.” _Shooting Times._—“The volume is well illustrated, and is certainly a very amusing and highly instructive publication.” _Country Side._—“Mr Finn always has something to tell us, and often something new. He is at home in writing of birds. An eminently readable book.” _Bookman._—“Very good. Always worth reading, and is well illustrated.” _Academy._—“A most readable volume; there is not a dull line in the whole volume, while the illustrations are remarkably good.” _Indian Field._—“It is always with the greatest of pleasure that we pick up a book written by this ever-interesting author. We must congratulate him on his latest work—a delightful work.” BOMBAY DUCKS
