THE MOTH BOOK

By Dr. W. J. HOLLAND

This book serves as an introduction to the study of moths, but the student who has fully mastered the contents is as far advanced in his studies as are many men who were a few years ago regarded as eminent specialists. It is the standard reference book of North America on the subject.

Dr. Holland, Director of the Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, is one of the leading entomologists of the country and has had more experience in mounting and artistically posing moths and butterflies than any other living man.

There are 1,500 figures in the color plates and 300 text cuts illustrating 1,800 species of the moths of North America. This volume is the most complete on the subject which has thus far appeared, and contains 479 pages. Size 7 × 10.

THE BIRD BOOK

By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.

Mr. Reed’s new bird book is the most complete guide he has yet made. Unlike the pocket guides which though ideal for field work, cannot because of their size give all the details the student wishes, this book is a whole reference library about birds and their haunts. It contains illustrations in colors of more than seven hundred birds of all varieties from all parts of the country which show the birds more than an inch in height so that every detail of real life is faithfully reproduced. In addition to these illustrations in color there are many hundreds more showing the eggs in life size, and numerous unusual photographs of birds in flight and in their natural haunts.

More than 700 illustrations in color and many unusual Bird Photographs. Net, $3.00

AMERICAN GAME BIRDS

By CHESTER A. REED, B. S.

Certain species and families of our wild birds are classed as game and can, at certain seasons, be legally hunted for sport or for food. A great number of books have been written for sportsmen and by sportsmen, most of them containing but a very few black and white illustrations of some of the species mentioned. As far as we know, AMERICAN GAME BIRDS is the only sportsman’s book illustrating nearly all of these birds in NATURAL COLORS. With it, the novice can identify any game bird he secures or sees, and the old-timer, as well, can see just what sportsmen in other sections of the country are shooting. The illustrations are excellent reproductions by the very best process from water-color paintings made directly from the birds.

The text portrays their habits just as truly as the pictures do their appearance, and the two together give the reader a correct impression of each species, such as can be gained in no other way except by long association with the birds. Mr. Reed knows birds as few others do, and has hunted, studied and photographed them from Labrador to Florida, and from the Atlantic to the Pacific.

More than 100 species illustrated in natural colors.

In handsome Paper Covers, 60c. net; postage, 5c.
